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

People are great and build life long relationships. Always referred to as the family run corporation and it feels like it. Pay is solid and benefits are top notch.

Cons

Human resource policies and practices are not the best. Don't call back incoming candidates. It is impossible to terminate incompetent employees without writing performance improvements that rival Tolstoy.
