Good benefits... Poor culture

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company vehicle with gas card. Great sales tools. Decent training. Decent benefits. Tons of incentives from gift cards to free food. You get to help businesses protect their brands and assist with public health safety.

Cons

Hustle culture. 6 month ramp up. Expect to be at work before 8 am and work past 5 pm until you build a pipeline. A lot of redundancy in CRM and certain processes. Short term underperformance is met with micromanagement. If the branch is underperforming, it can turn into a stressful environment. Fee for driving company car home. Sales leadership at the branch level seldom have B2B sales experience and are generally from the service side which can create a problem when providing direction and setting expectations for performance.
