Extremely exciting but proceed with caution - Account Executive The Washington Post Employee Review

Staff training is not good at all. The sales strategies taught are not appropriate for the environment print advertising currently is in. Since advertising in print is a choice, representatives should be thought of as more consultants rather than sales people. The Washington Post still is under the mentality to train employees like high pressure car salesmen. Wahts more, there is a general incompetents regarding the computer systems, specifically dealing with how the online and print section communicate. The management are under intense pressure to keep revenue high and thus are not able to pay enough attention to how to solve problems within their system.
