Pros

Good benefits. Company is holding up strong, especially for a tough economy... but that is mainly because the employees who are not liked and have talent but have to work so much harder to pull the weight of those who are liked and do not pull their weight.

Cons

Moral is very low and that is company-wide. Leaders follow a "do as I say, not as I do" philosophy and there is ALWAYS a big catch whenever this company is trying to give you something. Work/life balance almost does not exist, but they trying to sell it like it does. Promotions are generally based on who is most liked rather than who is most qualified. Business ethnics needs to improve and it starts from the top down. When the economy recovers, the talented will definitely leave!! I am generally not one who complains.... I am just simply stating all the facts!

Pros

People I work with are great. I enjoy interacting with customers and coworkers. There are perks and benefits from vendors.

Cons

Stiff competition in the industry. Sales assistance can be difficult. Working with departments, manufacturers, customers, and others trying to put together an opportunity can prove very difficult. Goals constantly increasing to unrealistic expectations.

Pros

Free food from vendors, hours are casual depending on the manager you have, management is generally pretty fair to it's employees

Cons

message management from up the chain of command was lacking, there was a serious lack of mentorship in advancing a career within the company. Frequent 'changes' of commission structure are frustrating, and always mean less money in the Account Manager's pockets.
