Vantaggi
Good benefits package, HR is very professional, growing company with good enough financials, not afraid to spend money on offices and finishes, $80k is reasonable first year expectation (one can at least pay the bills)! Smart CEO, great company events, products have value and fit a need
Svantaggi
Terrible downline management, unqualified management from vice president level down to field (with a few exceptions) - maybe a result of trying to let people grow into their position? (unlikely) Regional vice presidents and regional managers literally do nothing (this isn't a disgruntled judgement, as I actually like the company) and have zero power or influence (no p&l accountability, etc.) just quota responsibility, which can easily gloss over the glaring lack of managerial talent due to sales people succeeding without at least mediocre leadership. Success is often determined by external factors (of course personal ability and desire are factors too) such as your territory economics, how many other costar employees are competing against you, and your managers on-boarding and training ability. No long term potential here if career growth matters. There are many longtime account execs though, very happy with their roll and paycheck, knowing that they will never go have more responsibility than their account exec job - many of them make very good money considering their roll (low 6 figures)
