Pros

Hardly any pros. Nice office location, young environment

Cons

Micromanagement. Sales leaders roles have no experience in management. No presence of an HR. Company is male dominated run by a bunch of high school friends who are quick to point the finger. Drama in the office. Highest turnover rate I have ever seen. Low salary with a lied about commission structure based on quotas that are impossible to meet. Expect to be on the phone the entire day and having your calls being listened in on.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your experience at RoadRunner. We strive to create a positive, energetic, encouraging office environment, where all employees are comfortable, motivated, and inspired to professionally grow and develop. Micromanagement is something that we frown upon at RoadRunner. RoadRunner strives to give every employee the autonomy to make their own business decisions, while encouraging everyone to bring their ideas to the table. RoadRunner Recycling takes pride in promoting its employees from within on both the Inside and Outside Sales Teams. It's essential to recognize that the VP of Sales, Director of Sales, All Regional Sales Managers, All Market Executives and Senior Account Executives, once started in an Account Executive role, just like you, and were promoted through the ranks. Unfortunately, the Account Executive role is not for everyone. As you know, the AE role is a constant, hustle and grind. Thanks again for your review, as we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Most money I've ever made in this type of role. Manageable workload for the most part, unless you grab too many complex tickets or have things start to go sideways. Great benefits. Fun team atmosphere and culture. Have seen many people on my team get promoted into higher roles so far, so I feel like I can take my path in my own hands and push it as far as I want.

Cons

Disorganized and constantly evolving processes that live and die by "FYI's", many that you only suss out when you come across a new situation. They've tried to codify a lot of processes and have done a good job, but many are still "you need to find out in order to know". No robust task system that is oriented by roles and expectations/capabilities rather than individual's names, which is... ponderous. Need a role to do something? Go look in a directory for the person doing that at the moment (subject to change, may not be updated/old info, person could be on vacation, etc) then send it to them, rather than dropping a task in a bucket that someone assigned to that role sees. The difference sounds small but it's immense in practice. Some of the fees and charges a customer can accrue are difficult to explain because they're nakedly bill stuffing.
