Junior Managers Program, 2 Year Rotation (Marketing)

Marketing communications specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Geographic flexibility (facilities in midwest, northeast, Carolinas, southeast ,west coast, etc.), wide breadth of experience in 2 years, opportunity to work internationally. If you can network successfully, your opportunities become more plentiful.

Cons

You're at the mercy of available openings when it comes time to rotate into a new role. Pay is low relative to market. If you're in the marketing function, heavy favor is shown to those who begin the program and work primarily in power tools- better rotation options, and much better final placement options.
