Pros

They had a in-depth plan for training to become an account executive.

Cons

On my first day they told me it was a bad time to start working there. Even though they had a plan in place for training me, the account executive who was supposed to be my supervisor told me she didn't want me there and didn't teach me anything the whole year I was there. It was a very toxic work environment and definitely wouldn't recommend it. I was also told that if I worked there long enough then I will too be on antidepressants.

Pros

Compensation is low, commission can be high. Really the only pro I can think of.

Cons

-Very boring role for a salesperson. Billboard advertising is far less appealing for an advertising medium these days versus others. Unless it’s a large national account (which are given to very tenured employees) clients/prospective clients often don’t find the product worth the cost. - Terrible culture. If you are a millennial or younger, you will hate this job. It’s the opposite of an idealistic sales culture. Bi-weekly bowling was offered to the sales team, but it was frowned upon by management if you left work and went to this “encouraged outing”. - They have an HR hotline versus an actual specific person to speak with. - Lack of ability to sell value on the product. Unreliable data and statistics to be able to present to clients or prospective clients. - Poor management: This one I can not stress enough... Unprofessional, lacking empathy, knowledge, and support. Displayed unprofessional behavior at company events and often let personal life intertwine with work life. Clearly display favoritism amongst employees. Often was told to “refer to the employee handbook” when they were addressed with important/concerning employee questions. - Poor training program. All trainings were outdated from 2015 or earlier and were all pre-recorded. No training or support from management when requested... -Terrible employee benefit offerings and PTO - Poor offerings for parents who need to take maternity/paternity leave - Lack of diversity and inclusion - Base pay is very low - No reimbursement for gas/mileage if you have to use your car. The office has 2 company cars employees may use, but if those are not available, you have to pay your own gas, etc.
