Vantaggi
Scottsdale just hired a new manager a few months ago who knows what he is doing (Finally). He's been with the company 5+ years and still runs a successful book of business, which is not easy. Great work atmosphere & laid back. Great first job out of school, and experience to include on a resume if successful. Uncapped commissions -- If you're willing to work hard, day in & day out, you can make a lot of money. Don't expect to put in a year or two of hard work & coast, you need to bring it every day to maintain your business & continue to grow and make good money.There is typically a lot of negativity around the offices, surround yourselves by the successful ones (only a few) and you'll be on the right path.
Svantaggi
The job is demanding. Again, you must be willing to bring it every day and occasionally work long hours if you want to be successful. However, I've had 4-5 managers at my time with PLS, and the one who is currently in Scottsdale, will give the best chance to be successful. Of course you have to be willing to work, but if you follow his plan, you will be successful. I can't say I agree with a lot of decisions made by upper level management nor comment on the future/outlook of the company. However, that really will not affect you in your position as an Account Executive (Trainee).
