Gain Great Experience in Sales and Account Management

Associate account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Dynamic, there is no ordinary day. This is a call center structure, must meet required monthly metrics, manage a book of business and assist with other teammates' accounts. You will develop grit because this role will push you beyond your comfort zone. Fast paced and high pressure if you like that. Pay and benefits decent. This job offers great training on all aspects of sales and account management. You will learn a lot if you are self-motivated. You will develop into a solid sales/account manager professional. There are a lot of great people working for Republic Services.

Cons

This job is more a get in and move up role. Frequent procedural changes and focus on activities can lead to confusion on priorities. Communication is key and lacking-effects customers, but managers are working hard to solve it. It is a work in progress. Normal career trajectory is promotion to Account Manager and then Sales Management. Beyond that, there isn't a lot of variety of jobs due to the type of industry waste management is.

Pros

Good Company, Great Team, Good Pay

Cons

Poor Operations Manager - Ray at the time. He would lie to team members and make supervisors clean up the messes. He would not divide the work correctly causing supervisors like myself to work 12 to 16 hour days allowing the others to leave at 8 to 10. Overall he would tell you what you wanted to hear and then would work on firing you if you made him look bad.
