Pros

I work with good people, have a supportive management team and high income potential with strong financial rewards. Realistic $3k - $5k/month realistic after-tax income within the first 3 months after training, while setting up your renewal base for much higher. Great schedule (M - Fr 8:30 - 5pm) and company promotes work life balance.

Cons

Starting out is like drinking through a fire-hose -- lots of information to piece together to implement a strategy for selling advertising to well-suited businesses. Must be disciplined, focused and fight through the highs and lows of a sales position. This is not unique to Naylor. Starting base pay could be higher, but bonuses compensate for that quickly for those who pay attention and make the right effort.

Pros

Get the opportunity to learn different market segments, as well as the opportunity to sell multi-dimentional advertising platforms. Sales Managers were always willing to help, and coach whenever requested. Great environment on the sales floor.

Cons

Very high turnover. Poor payment structure, everything is from a "draw" where you're only making commission when you sell over a certain goals. Not a very strict hiring process, was dissatisfied that my degree did not really matter when compared to other new hires backgrounds. I truly liked everyone I worked with from management to fellow sales reps, but I feel that if they altered their commission structure, and hired less they would retain employees. When you read through past comments you see a lot of drastically different descriptions of the job: "Best job ever! Worst Job ever! etc." I would take all of them with a grain of salt. At its core, this is a pretty tough selling gig, people do not want to receive calls from advertiser's, and it can be monotonous calling on companies who have been called on for years from Naylor reps. I do think they give you the opportunity to succeed, but much of that is predicated by how hot you "come out of the gate." If you start out hot, you will be placed on much, much better projects than others--which directly correlates to your commission--and standing within the company. If you continue your success, you can somewhat coast as there are lots of renewals and projects that are not tough sells, but are high ticket items.

Pros

The people I work with everyday -from the receptionist to my managers. They are genuine and make me feel like I'm part of a team and family, particularly my department. We're a very cohesive group and I always feel like my voice is being heard within the department when I have feedback or when I need extra help. My project manager outside of my department is very attentive to my thoughts and opinions and trusts my judgement and professional marketing perspective. I do think there are constant improvements being made within the company and its structure as a whole. From when I started to where I am now I feel I am doing more marketing and less administrative tasks and have a less stressful workload. There is always room for improvement and Naylor readily accepts and recognizes that.

Cons

I don't feel like my voice is heard within the company. Our department isn't high on the totem pole and the sales reps voices largely override ours at times when I don't believe they should. I do not believe our role as marketing account specialist is compensated enough for the work that we do. At times I feel stuck within my role in that as much as I'd like to expand it there aren't many opportunities to do so unless I go to external department projects like committees.
