Pros

- competitive base salary - flexibility - great message to "sell" to customers

Cons

- upper management has little knowledge of what a "day in the life of an Account Manager" actually looks like and in turn they constantly have unrealistic requests - constant changes to how to manage business and yet to find a productive solution - being at or above goal is no longer what Account Managers are measured on

Pros

Decent pay - off weekends. Mgmt pretty flexible with schedule when needed.

Cons

Mgmt can sometimes be found to be inconsistent with promoting. I considered an high turn-over rate among branch management for many of the high performing branch in our market.

Pros

Great company, great people, lots of opportunity to move around.

Cons

Not a marketing focused company, so if traditional marketing is your venue, this may not be the place for you. Lots of re-orgs and directional changes depending on who's in charge at the time.
