Vantaggi
The Houston office is a great team, led by a great man. If you can report through him, then you're in the right spot.
Svantaggi
Unfortunately, I reported to a lady in Quebec. I was given impossible short term goals that were not what was discussed in the interview process. I was hired specifically for my expertise in the Houston market. After being hired, that expertise was ignored and talked over from Quebec. In the interview, we all agreed that it would take at least one year to start seeing some returns on the investment, since it is such a well-developed market, not white space. This is especially true, since they had absolutely zero experience and name recognition in Houston. I was actually FIRED, without any warning, after only 5 months into the role. This was despite making several accomplishments in that short time they had been trying to achieve for two years. I feel I was used fir my contacts, then set free once they had an in to my main account. Keep in mind that I was in an executive-level position. Note: I've never written a negative report on an employer before.
