Pros

You can be hired as a Sale Account Executive with zero experience straight out of college. They also do not drug test as a condition of employment which I imagine is a big selling point to some recent college graduates.

Cons

Over half of my colleagues from my training class made it past the first month on the sales floor. Many of them were fired before ever completing training for not meeting expectations. The company culture is weak yet destructive to the individual employee. There are attempts to make the company seem "fun" for young account executives, but these efforts seem very surface-level and do not work to the advantage of employees in reality. The attendance policy is strict, so much so that there is extreme pressure to work even if extremely ill. The management would rather allow colds and flus to run rampant around the office (Portland) than allow an ill person to stay home through recovery. I would not recommend working at Zones.
