Pros

Travel and trade shows ( exciting industry)

Cons

THIS IS A VERY HONEST REVIEW - APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK! Typical day at Arconas: You will sit at your desk with no real direction on what you need to do or how you will get there to be successful. What I learned: Counting seats, looking at floor plans & coloring the floor plans with highlighters through trial and error. Management provided very little direction in the procedure. The culture of the company: Everyone talks behind your back, from management to the next department. It seems people don't enjoy their jobs and feel they need to bring you down to their level. The hardest part of the job: Essentially management taking over your projects without true direction as well as the lack of training, specially if you are new to the industry. (SO BEWARE) What I enjoyed: the travel & trade shows (exciting market segment) Salary: was OK based on what you essentially do on a daily basis, which to be honest was not much! - if you enjoy a slow pace job with lack of everything this is definitely for you! Work Environment: Terrible. There are a lot of "Debbie downers" at the office, people will make you feel you are not part of a team. Career Risk: They should be in the business of selling revolving doors considering the high turn over rate, they excel at this!

Pros

People under management are very nice and accommodating

Cons

Please read "Not What I Expected " in a previous post. "Salary: was OK based on what you essentially do on a daily basis, which to be honest was not much! " Very low salary if you were actually required to do something. The commission level is 3% which is well below that of sales jobs in the furniture industry Self-taught with little to no support from managers. No training program in place. No meaningful benefits program for US-based employees Career Risk: They should be in the business of selling revolving doors considering the high turn over rate, they excel at this!
