Worst job experience ever

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of client experience but dont think you will make any money from it.

Cons

This was the worst job experience I have ever had. They lie to you about you sign on bonus and compensation. They expect you to be online 24/7 but pay you nothing. They do not honor employees vacation days. The yearly sales conferences is cult like and upper management is creepy and inappropriate to its younger female employees.

Don't work there

Business Outlook

Pros

Barely any, maybe PTO policy if I have to write one

Cons

Too many to list. The most toxic work culture I've ever experienced. Upper management does not care at all about their employees. I can't advise people more to never accept a job here.

Pyramid Scheme

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You run your own book of business You're able to interact with clients flexibly (i.e. in-person, via email, over the phone)

Cons

Pyramid scheme - they keep the high earners high, and the low earners low. They do not train their employees to be managers - they simply make you manager if you earn enough money. You barely make any commission for the first several years. Terrible office culture - no respect for upper management.
