Pros

the people are good and the customers aren't too bad and the pay is higher compared to other customer service jobs

Cons

everyone has way too much work and now they started micromanaging our time off phones like it's our fault they don't have enough people and they took our commission away so they want us to do more work and get less money

Good benefits... Poor culture

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company vehicle with gas card. Great sales tools. Decent training. Decent benefits. Tons of incentives from gift cards to free food. You get to help businesses protect their brands and assist with public health safety.

Cons

Hustle culture. 6 month ramp up. Expect to be at work before 8 am and work past 5 pm until you build a pipeline. A lot of redundancy in CRM and certain processes. Short term underperformance is met with micromanagement. If the branch is underperforming, it can turn into a stressful environment. Fee for driving company car home. Sales leadership at the branch level seldom have B2B sales experience and are generally from the service side which can create a problem when providing direction and setting expectations for performance.
