Too many to count.
The Des Moines, IA office is managed by one of the worst "managers" I have ever seen or been apart of. He 120% does not care one bit about any of his employees. He maybe will consider caring about the top employee in the office, but that is only if they're making him more money. He is the most inconsiderate person I have ever met in my life. He makes his employees feel stupid when asking questions, he expects them to know EVERYTHING there is to know about staffing the week they start on their own. There is zero guidance with this manager. It's actually very sad to think about. I have no idea how he is still a manager at this business. Oh wait, yes I do. He is buddy buddy with everyone above him. I know multiple employees that have gone to upper management or even other people within the company to give feedback or complain about his actions. These are only to be swept under the rug because they're all buddies. It's sad to see employees join this company to think that this is a career they're interested in, only to be treated like absolute garbage working here (Des Moines office at least). It's also sad to hear about other offices who do have great managers and how they love coming to work every day. Overall, #1 thing: Manager is worthless.
Do not let the interview fool you, they bring in their top Account Manager and top Recruiter and explain the opportunities of making as much as 6 figure +. It's not like that at all. You will be making the base salary (which is nothing to live off of) and nothing more for your first year there or longer. During my interview, this sounded like a dream job. It is 100% misleading.
How much you make also depends on what accounts you get. Obviously they give the best accounts to the top AMs. If you come in there and get an account that is dead, they don't care and expect you to fix that. While having dead accounts, you're making NOTHING. Again, completely misleading from what they tell you in the interview process. I know Account Managers who have stuck around this company with dead accounts and are still making base salary. Not because they can't do the job, but there is no business in the accounts they have. And circling back to my first point, you're getting absolutely no help/guidance from your manager.
Overall, I think this all comes down to management. If you do have a manager such as the Des Moines office does, you're screwed. Sad to think that other offices around the U.S. in this company are thriving and have minimum turnover. Look at the Des Moines office, and you'll see the amount of turnover they have. FOR ONE REASON. It's a joke.
Very sad to see this corporation hasn't done anything about it to this day. This manager needs to be watched by upper management so they can see what his employees go through every day. And be fired.
***AVOID DES MOINES, IA OFFICE AT ALL COSTS***
