Pros
Bonuses in Account Management can be fantastic. Great AMs can make $100k per year though $60k is more common I'd say. It is a relaxed, casual atmosphere. There is a work hard, play hard mantra that management likes to recite. The hours are great. You can decorate your cubicle. The people you work with are generally great people. Great work experience.
Cons
Lack of integrity. It feels as if management wants us to do right by our advertisers because it makes us look better and prevents us from losing money - not just because it's the right thing to do. That being said they constantly look the other way when ad sales sells a terrible contract or lies to an advertiser. They say they like for anybody in sales to push the envelope. There's little accountability. Little opportunity for upward movement. While bonuses and commissions can be great, base pay is far below the national average for an account manager so if you don't hit bonus it can be hard to get by. I never felt like senior management had a clear vision for the future.
