Pros
Just saying you have a job Thats all its worth.Learn all you can learn about account management and move on to the next oppurtunity.Ther are better enviroments out there with better pay,process,and structure.
Cons
Take heed to what Im telling you.First of all the base pay is the lowest in the account management field.They will offer 30-35K per year in which the norm is at least over 45k plus No stock options for employees One of the few publicy traded companies that dont offer this.No wonder the company makes alot of money Its only offered to upper management and executives.They dont supply you with any real-time leads.You are basically self-sourcing your own business.You have to do your own marketing,sales account management,sometimes collecting on accounts that have not fueled.The enviroment is un professional.The customer service and process for your clients is horrible making for a stressful day. To many times your customers are going to complain about billing,customer service and why is the process of getting the cards slow.Yes there are certain reps getting fed leads .Each team is allotted one or two people on the team to get in house leads.Lots of favortism no equal playing field. True theres always only one person on the team always seems to make goal.YOU WONDER WHY????. The products Fleetcor fuel card products are not as competitive with other fuel card companies .The companies claims to have no hidden fees but there are hidden fees, astronomical late fees. galore Your client gets late with payment after 1 lousy day.The cards will be shut off for 7 days.Leaving your client in limbo with fueling there vehicles.Some will stop using your card all together because they get fed up with the fees and,lousy customer service.The percentage of commisions or bonus is low.with a high quota making it hard for you too make money.Plus you only keep the account for 10 weeks In which as a so called account manager for this company you should have the account for the time you are employed with the company.After 10 weeks the company makes all the money.Its designed to keep you grinding and ginding and more grinding for more accounts in which it will eventually burn yourself out from the stress Upper management does not have your best interest at heart. No ongoing training or pratices to make you successful. After 2 weeks of initial training period which only scratches the surface of what realistically you are going to deal with when you get on the floor its kind of like they just throw you out there with no guidance on proper processes to make you successful.You are basically on your own.If you decide to take this position as a account manager.Learn all you can learn and MOVE ON!!
