Corporate Incompetence

Account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you can ignore the corporate communication, you can have good work life balance.

Cons

Corporate leadership is horrible. Only after stock price gains. They frequently eliminate or complete undercut commission plans. At this point most management doesn’t know anything about the actual products or service. They do whatever McKinsey says to cut costs and send most tasks to India and treat customers poorly.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, supportive team, I enjoyed listening to music and podcasts while I worked

Cons

Sometimes the hours I worked were too much - 60 hour work weeks of pure physical labor will wear anyone down...pay was too low, if it was higher I might have stayed
