Best Company for Career Growth
Pros
Cbeyond/Birch offers their sales reps to make $100K+ entry level, Senior AE's $150+ and the top rep in the organization makes well over $200K. In the Oak Brook office there are standards to come to two morning meetings a week, run 4 new appointments a week and hit your sales quota. It is a sales organization, so of course you are expected to sell. Work life balance comes with any sales job. Unlike other organizations you don't have to be in the office or in the field from 8-5. You make your own schedule around your appointments. As far as culutre, there are fun branch events like private dining at Mastro's, Del Frisco's, and Chicago Cut. Every year we go to a Cubs Roof Top game. And yearly there is a President's Club trip. Even through the acquistion this culture has been kept whole in Chicago. If you are not passionate about sales and making money this company is not for you. The office enviornment definatley caters towards the younger generation with creative thinking. Management is mostly under 35, have energy and understand the needs of their people.
Cons
Customer care used to be challenging to work with. However, through the acquistion it is like night and day. Much better support. Since we are going through an aquistion there are new processes to learn and new management to get to know.
