Great company with a lot of potential!

Pros

The company provides extensive opportunities to advance your career and is a very positive environment to work in. There is a lot of female leadership, which is rare even in this day and age and I love working for a company with that type of culture and opportunity. ASM is very accomodating to personal needs and I have never had a bad experience with management or projects. The ACE Program is incredible and I highly recommend it to any post college graduate interested in sales and marketing (see below for qualifiers though).

Cons

The pay is comparable to other cpg marketing companies, but they don't give raises that often. I know I could make more somewhere else, but it evens out. It should be noted that the cpg and retailer industry is unique, and you should research this type of environment before pursuing a career here because it's different than "fun, web, media" marketing or all fancy sales meetings- you have to get your hands dirty sometimes.

Pros

I was accepted into the Leadership Development Associate Program at ASM and currently at the end of the program. It was a great experience to learn about the CPG industry, sales, retail, and how the company functions as a whole.

Cons

After nearly completing the program, I would not change much about. It really gave a great overview of the company and the industry.

Great place to work with opportunities for growth

Associate business development manager

Business Outlook

Pros

As a sales organization, we are a people business and management invests in the people. There are passionate, dedicated sales people and management who want to help you grow your career and the business. The compensation is respectable. The company is growing quickly and there is a lot of opportunity for growth.

Cons

The best part about the cons is that upper management knows what they are and are working to fix them. Communication is a weakness because the company is so large. The information from upper management does not always get to the divisions and if it does, some of the enthusiasm has waned. Another con is the lack of standardization. Amongst the different divisions, there is a lot of flexibility which is necessary as every aspect of our business is different. However, there is no standardized training for some of the positions or standardized policies across divisions.
