Pros

I enjoy my team and my position with Connection. We have fun together, and we have contests to break up the day. Sales is a lot of the same tasks every day, so it's great to have some in-office fun. I've learned a lot about sales here, and I think the Sales Coaches really help the new New Account Managers do well in their roles. The pay increase in 2021 for Account Managers was a huge improvement. The role can be a grind, but it does pay off. Now that I am in year 2 and headed into year 3, I am doing really well. Just keep going and you'll get there, too. The benefits are good, too.

Cons

I feel like the company had some growing pains in 2020 and 2021, but overall we've made huge strides to make everything better from work-life balance to improving the internal systems. Sales can be a hard job with cold calling, and it's not for everyone, but the Account Manager role with Connection can really pay off if you put the work in.
