Senior Mgt needs focus, commitment

Account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great small company with great benefits. Few products to sell, Marketing and Strategy division has little competition in the market.

Cons

Account list constantly changing. Bigger, better competition in the IT space. Quotas way off base with very small bonus amount per quarter, and it's part of your OTE. Just a bit of an immature company, but great analysts and fun environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, flexible work hours - good work/life balance, a very supportive team, and a warm culture. More vacation/time off than anyone else I know, plus I get to leave at a reasonable hour or work from home occasionally.

Cons

Lots of change happening quickly with a relentless attitude from management that this is for the best, and we must happily embrace it or be left behind
