Pros

Depending on your direct manager Senior AE's are given their freedom and ability to make own schedule. Fun employees which can be fun and become life long friendships.

Cons

Awful commission plan. Anyone with a significant account list gets paid the lowest percentage possible yet these are the hardest accounts to implement due to their high amount of promotional needs. When I was hired I was promised an account list that would pay a min of 125k per year. Once I became familiar with the details of the commission breakdown I realized this list would NEVER pay out the amount I was promised.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
