Pros

At first, seems to good to be true. Great salary, benefits. Then wait! Not a Black or Asian or Indian in my sales dept. All white, all women but one man. Why? Men wouldn’t put up with this crap.

Cons

First, they can take any account anytime. They set up an actual internal side that steals your contact list and call on it and sells it. You found them, you just lost it. Then the bigger the account the more upper manager pillages. They allow other markets to steal a 6 figure account. Happens all the time. You’ll love this! You do trade, barter. You don’t get paid or anything. They require you take care of there capital expenditures in exchange for ads and you don’t get paid. They don’t pay for anything! There capital needs! Vans, banners, even A/C units, clothing, trips client perks! Nothing they pay nothing. Pay you nothing. Work for free and have them take any account anytime! Illegal!

Pros

Your direct co-workers are usually cool.

Cons

Upper management doesn't care about you unless you are a money making sales person. You don't get bonuses, or pay increases despite taking on more and more work (both due to coworkers leaving and to general sales need). You are not paid overtime, even though it is nearly impossible to get your daily tasks done in 9 hours, let alone taking a lunch a a decent time. When speaking with management about pay you will be told you are "lucky" to be getting hourly (ahem $11, minimum wage), when there are sales people on the floor who are "struggling to pay their bills" yet living in premier Scottsdale neighborhoods. Other departments are willfully unhelpful, and sometimes go out of their way to make your job harder for no reason other than personal vendettas. When approaching management about it you will get told there is "nothing" they can do because it is not their department. Working an event? Forget about overtime, if you get paid at all. Covered parking? Unless you are Sales or Upper management forget it. Sick? Come in anyway, we have a bathroom you can throw up in. Someone tells you the wrong info for data entry? You should've known better and entered it correctly. Better luck reading their mind next time. Spots don't run? It's directly your fault and not that they over sell every commercial break. Sales is stressed out? They can verbal abuse you on the floor and little to nothing will be done about it.
