Svantaggi
No benefits. No upward mobility. Below average pay. The way the company is structured, you are set up to fail. There is a lot expected of the employees but very little given in return. Client retention is your responsibility although the clients are sold on unrealistic expectations by the business development team. Some BD team members bit-foot managers any time there is a client issue, leading to a lack of faith in the manager by the client and resentment toward the BD staff. BD team thinks they are marketing/PR professionals and lead clients to believe they are involved in the day-to-day, which is not the case unless there is an issue. Client managers have no support staff -- expected to create strategy, hold meetings, manage projects, create deliverables for a minimum of four clients at a time, all for the client price of $5500 a month. This is all very bad for morale.
