Poor compensation and no creativity
Pros
Exposure to large customers, experience with enterprise accounts at a junior level, and location.
Cons
Poor pay (REALLY bad); the company was adept at paying folks the lowest amount possible. Even when promoted internally, they set rigid restrictions on how much of a compensation change someone could receive. To put this in perspective, I went from a call center to being a Premier Support Technical Account Manager and received less than a 5% raise. The management is completely out of touch with employees. They expect you to be on call, work overtime, work abnormal hours ect, but offer no incentives or even a roadmap for career progression. This, combined with low pay resulted in an endemic of low moral and motivation during my time with LexisNexis. From about the second week at this company, you become aware that you will have to leave the company to further your career. They offer no means of expanding your career at a junior level, while it is abundantly clear upper management is generously compensated.
