NTG Account Manager- not the best job I have had

National account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-team building events are fun and important and I feel NTG acknowledges this a few times a year which is great! -you have a sense of teamwork which I really liked being there, we had to rely on each other as a team to hit numbers and goals - teaches discipline being on time which we can all use nowadays -nice office setting -efficient resources that are very helpful (freighthawk, drayage team, HR)

Cons

- felt like a sweatshop , I do not believe cold calling people multiple times a day works. It makes the customer uncomfortable and is very mundane. -if you do not make 100 calls a day you are chastised day in and out even when you have successes , the calls are more important to higher-ups - a reason I left because it got to the point I dreaded coming into work daily - you are treated like robots -commission plans were changed mid year after coming in expecting to make a total on your margin, they changed it to a tier pay which is basically screwing employees out of their hard work - PTO - your pto days are not raised after you work a year which in my opinion is not right- the one thing people work towards is more pay and more PTO at any job -management tends to be unprofessional about addressing issues - huge turnover -the focus is to make calls in this position - not about the relationship - which is the most important part to maintain business. If you have a customer that wants to talk to you 30 mins a day, 5 times a day, only one of those calls is accounted for when they look at "call logs" -you feel you cannot even take a lunch break most days without your team leader texting/ calling for help on your account. That is what they are there for , for you to be able to take a break for 1 whole hour.

A Couple Years Into It W/ The Charleston Office

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Honestly, I was very skeptical coming into this industry. Originally a marketing major so knew nothing about the company or industry but was eager for a sales position (and money)! Almost 3 years later and I have to say I am very Happy with things panned out. Not to sugar coat, the first couple months are not easy as there are a TON of calls being made but I was open to seeing it was the only way I was going to be successful at the job. I have and continue to lean on management to guide me and truthfully I have learned just as much from them day to day as I have learned from the job itself.

Cons

Really the company has changed a lot in the 3 years I have been here. There have been some significant changes in the Charleston Office over the last year (Bringing in new leaders and a new GM from other offices) but honestly, its played out to be super positive and has lead to more success for myself and other colleagues around me.

Pros

Fun office environment (music/televisions). No dress code (which can be both beneficial and hurtful).

Cons

Starting off, management treats you like you're the next big thing. They butter you up. They promise you big things. I started off solid, moving freight consistently, hitting bonus. I felt like I was headed to SR BROKER (Whose going to be the next Sr Broker?!). Dear lord that line was annoying. A few months later I started slipping, and lost a few accounts, because that's what happens in sales. There's ups and downs. Sometimes you fall off the horse, and instead of management believing in you, and encouraging you to get back up, they start a slow, cruel process of letting you go. It's really unfortunate. I was treated differently that other brokers by management. It sucked. I dreaded going to work my last few months. And Kevin Nolan? I never met Kevin Nolan once. Never once did he make a trip to Detroit. Solid leadership, Kev. NTG is like this, if you're moving freight and making margins, you're a god. But if you're struggling a specific month, and nothing seems to go your way, you're treated like a nobody. It's a toxic work environment. Unless you can land a few big accounts this job is nothing more that a constant ball of stress that takes over your life. Issues all the time, both during the night, weekends. If you like a job with crazy turnover, this is 100% for you.
