      "Fast paced company spinning out of control"

      Advertising consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good relationships with most dealers. Benefits are average. Vacation plan is good. Middle management are supportive most of the time.

      Cons

      Upper Management is out of touch with reality in the field. Company continues to change comp plan making it very difficult to survive in small to medium markets. AC's must continue to sell more & more to the same dealers. Dealers are not seeing ROI with ATC anymore. 1000 lb Gorilla! Very stressful environment!

      WOW! Politics!

      Pros

      Good opportunity to make money. Name recognition and good market penetration. Benefits begin day of hire. Was able to work from home office.

      Cons

      The politics were palpable and I have no idea why. You can't disagree with anything. If you question any management decision, you're branded. And don't even think of not drinking the Kool Aid. Everyone is out for themselves and won't take a minute of their time to help or answer questions. Lots of backstabbing, but they make sure to hug you first..
