Pros

Great tools & technology for sales force. Excellent training program. Very thorough. Creative marketing team. Close "family" feeling. Many long term (non-sales) employees.

Cons

Some shady management. Lack of diversity. After extensive interviewing, hand writing analysis (seriously), phone interviews and other assessments I was offered the national account position. Unknown to me and not disclosed was the very high turnover in the position. I was told it would take 1-2 years to get up to speed. I was told support and training would be ongoing and it would take time to build the relationships. Their industry is at a cyclical low point and on top of that you're calling on ad agencies where people come and go quickly. So there is a challenge. Apparently after 6 weeks of training at HQ, 3 weeks of working was all they needed from me and I was released. Keep in mind this is a "Critical" role for the company, yet they go through people at a very high rate. No one internally wanted the position. They point to the last successful person in the role over 4 years ago, yet somehow cannot find anyone to do the job. Also, perhaps not an issue for many, there are no employees that are not WASP. No African Americans, Asians, Latinos, etc. It was a bit strange. Voicemail can be overwhelming. Everything from prayer hotline to sales stories to inspirational sales quotes.

Pros

My team is great, very responsive and everyone is a joy. My boss is great, responsive but doesn’t micromanage. I personally think I’m compensated very generously. Great benefits.

Cons

It’s a smaller company so room for growth is a bit limited.

Pros

Atmosphere was decent. Benefits were excellent.

Cons

At the time there were times of the month or even the week where many in this position had ample downtime. They would let you go home but required that you use your PTO as do most places. But honestly at the time, the positions could have been part-time because there were multiple days a week where work load was extremely light or even non-existent in some cases. I would have much rather been allowed to go home with no pay than to sit an pretend to seem busy. If you are paying me to work, I want to actually work.
