Pros

-Work from home -you pick the hours you work for the most part. (May work 40+ hours a week but it is not 9-5) May work for a few hours in the day be off for a while they work out in the field at night, etc. -Corporate trainings are very informative (they train you well) -Corporate trainings are very fun (one big party) -average age of employees is 21-35

Cons

-A a field employee you are easily replaceable and always the "low man on the totem pole" even as a fulltime GM -Senior Management is always crossing lines with direct reports and even part time staff in "too friendly" of a manner -they will lay you off with no notice and for no reason

Pros

GMR has a good name and reputation within the industry. Strong client roster. Work hard, play hard. There are a lot of quality people that work there. It can be a fun place to work. Fair amount of perks. A solid stepping stone based on the quality of your clients and connections within the industry.

Cons

Too top heavy. If you didn't start in the early 2000s, you will not reach VP level or even director very quickly. They pay is mediocre. They do not do a very good job of identifying talent and often force square pegs into round holes. They have lost a tremendous amount of talent in recent year and have failed to replace with equal talent or fill those positions at all. Very lean and will work you to the bone. Very NASCAR centric. Often afraid to step out of their comfort zone. A lot of your experience as an entry level employee or even pre-VP is dictated by your VP. They range from people who are incredibly strong (and might not be around much longer) to people who are only concerned about themselves and have little concern for your career or serving as a mentor.

Pros

Good pay, the promotions are interesting and engaging. Useful experience, if this is the field you wish to be in later in life.

Cons

No real cons. These gigs are generally small time until you find something larger, so it's no long term solution to unemployment
