Pros

good base pay for mid entry level sales job USED to have hybrid flexibility (but seems to be 100% in office now?)

Cons

If you want to succeed here long term you have to go through almost a hazing phase where, regardless of the territory/segment you are given, management lets the senior Account Managers cherry pick the established/successful accounts in your geographical territory "because that's how it was when they started". New AMs are held to certain standards like a 6 month minimum contract duration and $600 weekly net profit while senior AMs get away with 3 month duration and/or $200 profit per week forcing new AMs to walk away from potential business while allowing senior AMs to use these terms. Basically the whole management team in the Bay Area has never had another professional role after college aside from working at Actalent and it's very apparent in the cult-y environment. People are catty, work in a resource scarce mentality poaching opportunities form their peers wherever they can get away with it. As a company that stouts they understand how expensive attrition is, ask yourself, why are they always hiring for AMs/Recruiters? I can tell you from personal experience, in 2022/2023/2024 it is not due to company growth.

Pros

None. Any pros are drastically outweighed by the cons.

Cons

When they contract you out, they will do literally nothing to help you keep the job they and the other company promises you. They will also go out of their way to further punish you if you speak out against unfair treatment. They made my life a living Hell. Nor will they help you find another job if a contract ends, despite them promising they will, and there are spots open for you and your expertise, and the job is publicly listed. No holidays off, forcing you to work on Federal Holidays, even when no one else is in the office.
