Pros

Extensive centralized resources generally made accessible to local markets. This includes audience and individual industry presentation material, research, creative support.

Cons

Culture of intimidation and fear has arisen against a backdrop of excessive unsustainable debt and resulting operational cutbacks. Compensation structures tied to volatile pricing of commercial inventory has negatively impacted sales force morale.

Pros

-Travel -work enviorment -strucutre of sales teams -split of markets fair -open communication -Finally provided laptops -mix of talent amoung sales teams -sales incentives-but beware you are taxed on all of them

Cons

-Lack of oppurtunity for growth -Base salary is $14K and there has not been one raise in three years even when it was promised -commission rates continue to drop -bonus pay outs have dropped -when you sell a large contract they do not give you the full commission rate because they state it is not the "norm" you recieve less then what the commission structures state -turnover is through the roof averaging 100+ a year in turnover -lack of tools to do job -ineffective training -no formal training for managment leads to inneffective management and poor moral -moral has dropped due to lack of oppurtunity for growth, base salary so low, drop in commission pay outs, poor communication with sales team -unequal treatment of sales team- you are told your oppurtunity to recieve "better markets" or "project-new airports" is based on your sales of current markets yet the same individuals continue to receive the new markets -overall i would not recommend this place for anyone unless you want a quick resume builder and can afford to live off the base plus minimal commission your first couple quarters
