Pros

Great for making friends directly out of college because all they do is prey on sorority and fraternity members for hiring. Zero pros outside of this.

Cons

Pay is almost $20,000 below market average. Almost completely impossible to live on this salary compared to cost of living. Corporate and C suite execs do not care. Cut all funding for snacks, happy hours, any enjoyable activity to “save money” before selling to public. That was over 2.5 years ago, still no sale and zero funding for the actual employees who do all the work. What do they do instead? Rent out an air craft carrier to have a party for all of leadership. Donate millions to random charities that have nothing to do with the work that’s being done. Company is so backwards I’d avoid it at all costs. This is the definition of pyramid scheme - there is zero care what so ever for the account managers and recruiters who are the sole reason the execs can soak up their millions of dollars. Pathetic.

Pros

- Great Training if you're a fresh grad or new to the industry. Does feel a bit redundant after a year or so. - High energy, fun people - Good office spaces - A chance to make a lot of money

Cons

- Low base pay. $40k/yr - You'll hear "If you stay you'll be successful" but in my experience it's "if you're successful you'll stay" and most people aren't. - This is location dependent but in my office (in a smaller territory) there seemed to be no interest in our services. 2-3 other Account Managers had ownership over the only large accounts and the rest of us had to fight for scraps. The way they handle account ownership is a gift and curse. - Heavyyyyy grind culture. I love working hard as the next guy but when I put out 300+ manual cold calls a day, week after week, with no success and my manager's only advice is to try harder, that'll wear you down. - Very high turnover. I made a friend group at training of 5 other people when I started. In less than 2 years 5/6 of us left (including me). Most office seem like revolving doors of employees - Kind of feels like they use young people as pawns. Get them to hustle for 1-2 years, hope that they get lucky and strike gold, and if they don't just tell them they need to be "Grittier." I watched incompetent people make absurd amounts of money and very talented people fail time and time again.
