Once great but losing its way

Pros

Decent benefits, lenient PTO, some work from home opportunities, convenient location, Google partnership yields perks, Bing/MSN partnership yields perks

Cons

No sense of purpose as a company, managers managing products and services they don't understand, unmanageable workload, sales reps given too much leeway, inexplicably still focusing on print, no career progression other than management, pay is not in line with industry for the workload.

Pros

Lots of flexibility in your schedule. Excellent on-boarding and training to get you ready for the field. Every manager I've had was always good at what they do. Everyone you work with is supportive and friendly. Ongoing product training is comprehensive, they are always available to help.

Cons

Take a beating in the field quite often. Products don't always function how they are supposed to, leading to unhappy customers. Support departments are primarily overseas, communication can be difficult. Objectives constantly get raised every year, and pay has declined...not a great combination.

Pros

The people I worked with were some of the best. After leaving the position, I'm still good friends with several of my co-workers. The position was also very flexible. We had the option to work remotely for 2-3 days/week which was also really nice. I think many people stay because of the good work/life balance and the friendly people.

Cons

They use an API when setting up and managing PPC campaigns for AdWords and Bing. The API is not as intuitive or user friendly as just going into AdWords or Bing. You also don't get as many options and features for optimization and reporting. The reporting was really bare-bones unless you took it upon yourself to customize your own reports. I also had upwards of 300 accounts I was managing. This makes it impossible to make connections with clients and also means you might not look at an account for an entire month unless there's an issue. This makes for a very reactive environment, instead of proactive. Not a good experience for the customer and causes a lot of undue stress for the analysts that are trying to juggle everything.
