Pros

Good foot in the door to industry, with industry tech leaders. Free lunches and perks from partners. No ceiling on commissions.

Cons

Culture has changed drastically in the five years or so I have been here. They fire or force veterans out the door and hire kids straight out of college like clockwork. Most will quit in a year or so, however some will stay and make good money. This however is very dependent on whether management likes you. Hit your goals yearly and grow accounts? They don't care so much. Laugh at the bosses jokes, pretend to work, secretly throw coworkers under the buss.. you'll be rewarded handsomely. The inequality in distribution of accounts, advanced training, and opportunities is simply gross. $25K base is really weak, especially in metro areas like NY. Salary becomes a draw after four years. This exemplifies the approach of this company towards it's people. Instead of investing in employees and encouraging development and retention; they let everyone either sink or swim.

Flexibility/Great corporate environment. Outside of work, the company is proactive is creating work life balance with you. Throughout the company coworkers work hard to support each other and make the work environment fun"

Cons

Pay. Base salary is often lower than the competition (especially in the AM role)" There is sometimes quite a bit of turnover among the inside account managers.
