      Company Struggling, Unreasonable Workload

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A good place to learn the background business. Many good people work here, and they can be good at finding creative solutions to problems. The account executives are really committed to customer service.

      Cons

      The company is struggling financially after integrating several acquisitions. They run lean, so lean in fact that each person is asked to do the work of 2 or 3. The culture has become toxic because people are burnt out and frustrated.
