Toxic management and unrealistic expectations dominate the workplace

Channel account manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None, get ready to be micro managed and have unobtainable quotas.

Cons

Management is clueless on how to run a channel program. US team is run like a college frat with condescending management. No official PIP, they will invite you to a meeting with HR and fire you.
