Vantaggi
None that I would go as far as mentioning in a review. If I had to think of something— the medical benefits aren’t terrible.
Svantaggi
This was quite literally the most manipulative group of individuals I have ever worked along side. I want to express how deeply I wish I could scrub the whole experience from my memory, and resume. From day one, the red flags were there. Not only do they severely underpay “entry level” account managers, they set unachievable expectations for promotion. The car stipend given is laughable. Additionally, fuel is not reimbursed. In a market like Southern California— I essentially spent more money than I was making in order to do my job. (See $7/gal gas prices) My biggest concern is that there seems to be no urgency to educate management level employees, or necessary previous leadership experience. Promotions are based entirely upon numbers, typical of sales. However, it should be recognized that not everyone who can sell can LEAD. I was continuously being pulled between a manager who micromanaged my every move, and one who only checked in when they had finished a call with the other manager. I was expected to drop everything I was doing whenever my manager couldn’t get to something, and drive over an hour to support their accounts. Additionally, the role was sold to me as 80% account management 20% sales. I can confirm that the expectation is quite the opposite. In fact, I’d say 80% account management 80% sales. Not to mention, the numerous times where I witnessed management speaking ill of employees. Management should never speak ill of employees around their direct reports— this plants a seed of distrust and trust is necessary component when operating as a team. The company itself is a mess. Between promoting based solely on numbers, inappropriate negative conversations about employees, incorrectly allocating commissions, and territories that don’t make sense— It’s only a matter of time before it implodes if nothing is done.
