Fun Company, Subpar Training for AMs

Account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The atmosphere in the office is high energy and enjoyable. The people at Lower are approachable and willing to help. The growth opportunities are pretty much limitless and the only promotion competition is yourself since they want to promote all who are excelling. The base salary is nice in addition to commission compensation.

Cons

The learning curve is rough, especially for people who do not come from a sales background. The company has grown so rapidly over the past 6 months that it seems like leadership is spread pretty thin. The training program for AMs is underwhelming and truly feels like a 'sink or swim' situation; praise is easily given to top performers (as is to be expected) yet little constructive criticism is given to those on the bottom, which does not encourage growth. Overall, there is inadequate sales preparation, especially for those with zero sales experience.

Pros

The smoothest onboarding and training process I have ever been a part of. They easily take someone with no knowledge of the industry and teach them from the ground up exactly what to do and at a high level. Extremely competitive compensation and room for growth through the company in a quick manner due to the company's quick growth. A culture that makes you want to go into work the next day to see your coworkers and enjoy what you are doing. Nothing ever feels like work or a grind.

Cons

In my short time here I can honestly not think of any cons.
