Pros
Great company to launch a career with. The pay was very solid for someone graduating college, company vehicle for personal use and business use, company gas card for personal use and business use, 3 weeks paid vacation starting out, 14 paid holidays, best sales training one could ask for, they go all out for company meetings with bands, DJ's, food, open bar, great venues. If you are recruited from college and have to move for the job, they have a moving company pack you up, they give you half a months salary for relo, they give you a real estate agent to work with you, and pretty much handle every single expense. Lots of perks, great company to launch a career with. Medical benefits are the best, 401k is very solid, made $200k in my 401k in 7 years.
Cons
You will work for 4 different operating companies, with each company have several different initiatives they want executed within a very short deadline. Just when you think you're done executing those initiatives, they change again, and just when you finish those, they will change again. Your life will revolve around fire drills, the rat race never ends, its easy to get burned out with this company. Politics plays a big role in getting promoted with this company. I've seen many excellent candidate get passed up and move on that should have been promoted. The work you do mostly goes unseen and people are promoted for "playing the game" rather than their effort and merit. If you have a good unit manager this job can last you several years, if you have a bad Unit Manager, and chance are you will since they have little experience, your job will be miserable. Your best bet at that point is to make that UM your friend and play the game. Perception is reality! I used to think the more responsibilities I took on, and the more initiatives I took on would lead to a promotion, however it never did. I received multiple awards, even a vision driven award, awarded to only 2 TSM's in a Section, took on mentor roles and managed interns, represented my section at corporate meetings and took on additional account management responsibilities. After 8 years of breaking my back to earn a promotion, I got burned out and quit. I found a job with a 40% increase in salary, quarterly bonuses, and $1000. a month car allowance doing half the work.
