Pros

I was at PHMG for two years, and it was a real roller coaster—but overall, I enjoyed my time there. If you’re just out of school and looking to get into sales, it’s a great place to start. You’ll grow a lot, both professionally and personally. The job comes with quotas and daily targets, and you’ll definitely have your ups and downs. But there are fun incentives like President’s Club dinners, Cubs games, and early leave days when you hit certain goals. Success really depends on your work ethic. If you’re lazy or not giving it your all, it won’t work out. But if you hustle, the company rewards you. I had back-to-back months where I made $5K in commission on top of my salary thanks to performance bonuses. Also, the VP of Sales can be strict, but he genuinely cares. If you’re honest with him, he’ll go out of his way to support you.

Cons

Like any good company, PHMG has its downsides. The biggest one is the pressure—if you’re not hitting your numbers, the anxiety can get to you. It’s a pure numbers game, and burnout is real. You have to source new business every single day, and I did that for two years straight. Career growth is also limited. You can become a Team Lead, and maybe—if you’re lucky—a Sales Manager, but that’s about it. There’s no clear path to becoming an Account Executive or Business Development Manager, which was one of the main reasons I moved on. At the end of the day, this job is one of those “you either get it or you don’t” roles. If you do, you’ll thrive. Being good at the job makes you more likable, and being likable opens up more opportunities.

Pros

My experience at PHMG has been such a fun and rewarding opportunity, especially for someone with little to no experience in sales. It’s a great place to learn, grow, and build confidence while being surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed. The culture is one of my favorite parts. Everyone is very welcoming and approachable, always willing to answer questions or offer advice. Since it’s a great starting point for someone new to sales, you never feel like you’re figuring things out alone. The team is supportive, and there are so many opportunities to learn from the people around you. I’ve also really enjoyed the networking opportunities and getting to connect with so many different people across the company. PHMG does a great job creating a fun environment where people work hard but also enjoy what they do. Overall, it’s been an amazing place to start a sales career and build a strong foundation. The skills, relationships, and experience you gain here can set you up for success in future sales roles as well.

Cons

none! I loved my time here.

Pros

PHMG is a great place to breakout in a sales role and gain experience. They offer a 15 week training program called the Academy, where you get first hand coaching, product knowledge and training, and dive head first into an SDR role with constant feedback and support. You also get the commission you earn right away, with a lot of potential to earn extra cash and fun events such as President's club. I was able to attend after my first month and they really want you to experience the fun incentives. Once you graduate the Academy they move you over to a team on the senior sales floor where you still receive constant coaching and support. The team environment is motivating and keeps each day exciting. Everyone is always there to lift you up and keep pushing you to succeed. The culture and environment here is like no other and I was lucky enough to find some of my closest friends at this role. Definitely a work hard play hard mentality where we celebrate the small and big wins daily.

Cons

It is a grind, there are going to be hard days where motivation is hard. It is very metrics focused and you will be cold-calling all day everyday. Kind of the typical entry level role that comes with sales.
