Pros

Nice products Employees try to survive - daily. In most cases great teamwork locally and centrally

Cons

Internal management problems (locally) Shareholder value is the only value that counts in this bankers culture institution (not at all an agency). History of the oil company is present everywhere: Pressure and no respect of people and their nature

Pros

Very nice products, contributors, employees

Cons

Daytrader mentality using elbows instead motivation and natural power. Very often hidden agenda of the senior management. No logical structure in sales and marketing leads to bleeding out / burning out young professionals, soon

Pros

Expanding Product Line Client Relationships PTO/Benefits Office Atmosphere

Cons

Account Executives and Account Managers have very similar roles and responsibilities yet are compensated much differently. Too many accounts to manage Management needs to fix poor Target/Goal structure. Salespeople lose motivation too easily when having rough start to quarter. No incentives for bringing in new business Inconsistent travel budgets Advancement opportunities minimal Many salespeople too relaxed, lack motivation to go above and beyond. This can rub off easily on new employees.
