Pros

Great leadership with experienced DSM's. Terrific on boarding and training. Team members help each other out. Profit sharing! Great salary and commission. The company is financially very stable with a huge commitment to their talent.

Cons

Successful account managers will see their goals increase, but that is typical in sales.

Pros

Hyper competitive pay and benefits, endless opportunities for career development. Cross-department/cross-organization transfers occur regularly.

Cons

Political. You're in or you are out. People are promoted frequently, which should be a good thing, but some are promoted to the point of incompetence.
