Pros
- You get to work on some really cool brands - If you get a good manager, they make the job worth it. And really have your back. - They allow remote work - You get travel to some pretty fun places and events
Cons
- They don’t appreciate good people. You will only get promoted if you suck up and tell everyone how good you are. Doing the hard work and taking on hard clients gets you no where. They literally take advantage of the hard workers, until they breakdown. They only have promotions once a year so if you are ready and deserve one, to bad, you have to wait for the next cycle. - They had another round of lay offs where they got rid of a lot of good people because they lost accounts. But these accounts were lost not because of account management but pricing and tech: these people were put on the hard accounts knowing they were trying to keep the client, and how did they get repaid, they got laid off. - There is no balance. You will work long hours and while that’s typical for the role, you will never get rewarded for it. Hard work gets you no where unless you tell everyone how hard you worked. - The CEO, first can’t even say the companies name correctly, and two has NO idea what the manager service teams does only a daily basis. Every All Hands he is such a downer talking about the War in Ukraine and that’s why the business is bad, when hello, it’s because you don’t invest in good people and aren’t upping the technology. The company isn’t doing well because the promote the wrong people, reward bad behavior, and don’t treat the right people well. - They make you pay for all your travel up front and then pay you back eventually. Which is fine for senior people, but entry level people and even Account Mangers, it’s a lot to ask of people when you are paying them $60K a year and they have to cough up $1K+ for a one day trip.
