Pros

This is an incredible growth opportunity for sales. I started in a California office and loved my boss and the opportunity the job gave me. I got promoted after a year, and after another 6 months I was offered an opportunity to manage my own office! We had 21 offices when I started and are now up to 65 and still growing...lots of room for advancement, transfer, and promotion. Also, you can be managing people within a couple of years; not many jobs can say that for recent college grads.

Cons

- Starting pay can be frustrating for new account managers, as the company pays low starting salaries to make AMs more "hungry" to advance and start making real money! - This is sales, so we're always at our clients' beck and call. If your clients have a lot of requests one day, you're going to work late...a lot of people complain about it, but that's just the way it is in sales!

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
