Pros

Product is so sticky and diverse, tons of greenspace for a CSM to have success expanding and growing accounts. People, office, culture, and benefits are all great

Cons

Compensation (specifically base salary) could be higher. 18-month timeline to promote/graduate to higher spend accounts across the CS org. 6-month promotion window cycles

Pros

- Well known company with good reputation - A lot of opportunity to travel, network, and build skills - Free lunches and in office perks

Cons

- Underpaid and compensation structure is not aligned with the role. In reality CSM's are also AM's without commission - Little to no chance of significant career growth - Management is typically hired externally and provides little to no support to CSMs, mainly there for reporting and enforcing changes
