Fun Ride/Learned a lot

Account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Fun office culture with great people -Opportunities for growth were amazing. (Can't be said about most places) -Got to learn a lot about time management since I was constantly on the road going to meetings.

Cons

-Salary was lower than market value. While we had SDR's, you pretty much had to book all your meetings yourself, so you better enjoy prospecting.
