Pros

Good teamwok, learned a great deal.

Cons

Upper management is terrible. Talks down to you like a child. If this is the best management has to offer in terms of motivating your talent pool, Hearst is in serious trouble. Also, base pay is a joke. Commissions change all the time and are unrealistic based off of previous years clients. Toxic work environment, even when working remotely. Not valued, just a number.

Pros

Sales team is super bonded over terrible senior management.

Cons

Executive leadership team is not equipped to manage high performing sales people. They mange first year sales reps the same as they manage 20+ years of experience sales reps. 5 members of the sales team have voluntarily walked off the team in the last 2 months and no changes have been made to leadership. Leadership said they were changing our comp plan mid year, but wouldn’t telling us what it was changing to (essentially asking us to sell like normal without telling us what we’d be paid).
