Pros

At first, seems to good to be true. Great salary, benefits. Then wait! Not a Black or Asian or Indian in my sales dept. All white, all women but one man. Why? Men wouldn’t put up with this crap.

Cons

First, they can take any account anytime. They set up an actual internal side that steals your contact list and call on it and sells it. You found them, you just lost it. Then the bigger the account the more upper manager pillages. They allow other markets to steal a 6 figure account. Happens all the time. You’ll love this! You do trade, barter. You don’t get paid or anything. They require you take care of there capital expenditures in exchange for ads and you don’t get paid. They don’t pay for anything! There capital needs! Vans, banners, even A/C units, clothing, trips client perks! Nothing they pay nothing. Pay you nothing. Work for free and have them take any account anytime! Illegal!

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
