Hello there, we are glad to hear that the people, benefits, and travel opportunities made a meaningful impact on your experience as an Account Manager in Denver. Making sure our staff feel supported and guided by strong leadership is something we hold ourselves to, and we appreciate you sharing where that fell short for you. On return to office, prior to Covid, we had a traditional 5 days in policy for office-based staff which then evolved over several years from remote permitted to 2 days in, then 3, and now 4. We are committed to in-person collaboration whenever possible and know that change doesn't work for everyone. Thank you for your review and time with us in Denver.

Pros

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Cons

Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
