Pros
I had 3 managers at my time. Two out of the three I was extremely happy with. My Last manager was AWESOME! He runs the Cloud Enablement & Innovations and is great to work for. If you get a chance to work with him do it. I adore the guys who run staffing. They are kind, have great advice, and just bring a great energy into the office. Paid is super high for an entry level job. If money is a driver this place might be a good fit.
Cons
It took HR over 8 months to answers my harassment complaint. I asked for a harassment training as a response to a company leader making comments about the attractiveness of myself and other women in the office in addition to making rude comments about women at an event. It took a very long time for one to happy and the person I filed the complaint about was nearly 40 minutes late to the training. While my last manager was great he was only my manager for about a month. When I was hired I was told I would be 50% sales and 50% marketing. I took the job because I had a strong interest in marketing and a commission check sounded great. No one cleared that by the CEO. After I moved from NYC to Princeton, NJ for the job I was told the CEO did not want me doing marketing but only sales. I was then told I would be doing Telemarketing. Cool, learn a new skill but here is the thing no one taught me how to do or even what our products were. I spend a year working in cloud computing and can still barely explain it. I had to independently train myself with no support. I was then given a list of people to cold call. 100s a day with little time to research. My only advice was to make a joke. I never made a sale; in reality only one in eight cold calls are answered and rarely to do those lead to a sale. When I went to seek out mentorship to grow my sales skills I was told off and made to solely focus on the phones. From 7am to 7 pm I would call and get nothing. Just voicemail after voicemail. The marketing director wanted to mentor me and grow my skills but I was told not to work with her and just cold call. So basically while there are great people there and CEI has awesome leadership; if you are a woman, minority, or fresh out of school I would avoid.
