Pros

Getting into the Account Coordinator role is an amazing opportunity to get your foot in the door. It opens up a lot of opportunities. Once you hit the 7th and 8th month mark, you become extremely desirable to employers. It's a great job to have on your resume. The workload can get extremely demanding and even overwhelming at times, but the knowledge an experience you gain is invaluable. Immediate management is really great. They really fight for you and look out for your benefit. If you have a strong work ethic and you show that you care about your job, your immediate management is on your side at all times. The company likes to promote within, which is great.

Cons

The money is not great. Although it's expected in the Account Coordinator role, it's very disappointing when getting promoted, because your salary doesn't increase that much. This is why the turnover is very high - people move to different companies where they make at least 10K more. Again, the work gets very hard and demanding at times (depending on the quarter), so be prepared for very long days.

Pros

Very casual environment, super talented and cool lower level people, decent pay.

Cons

Unless you are "in" with someone up in the company, don't expect to get anywhere. The execs let people under them (usually middle management) get away with everything. Even if you go to HR. Nothing happens. Working for one of the operating companies might be different (eg one of the channels).
