Pros

Ive been at Austin Focus for about 8 months now. I come from a financial background and I wanted to transition into something more marketing focused. When I started what I liked most was the work environment and the team is awesome. I was assigned a trainer who was incredibly helpful my first couple weeks! I was also really motivated by the bonus structure. The better the team does the higher our bonuses. Unfortunately bonuses were not a part of my previous position. Pay goes up over time once you qualify for the pay raise which is nice. I moved up pretty quickly but I also volunteer a lot to take extra work so if you want growth then I suggest really setting yourself apart.

Cons

There is a lot of studying up front because the company works with a lot of clients.

Pros

The Austin Focus Interview process is exactly how every job interview should be run. Multiple phases give you the ability to truly understand the nature and culture of the company and allows for a more seamless entrance into your role. The people here are detail oriented, clearly driven and willing to help you wherever you feel you could use the help.

Cons

If you want to work with this company do NOT plan on coasting. They offer positions for people who are highly self-motived and striving for personal improvement day in and day out.

Pros

I really did love working here. It is an awesome opportunity! Within 9-12 months you can be running your own marketing company. It is a management training program that teaches you from the ground event level all the way up to executive management level. Not only did I learn skill sets that pertained to marketing. I also learned all kinds of skills for business in general. Its also a very positive environment. Everyone who works there always comes in a very good mood and willing to do whatever it takes to get you to reach your both professional and personal goals. I not only consider the people I worked with as former co-workers I consider them personal friends. I also got to travel to Phoenix for 2 weeks to learn from the one of the best of the best in the business. (that trip was completely paid for by the owner Kati). The owner and everyone invest a lot of time and money their employees. And it shows. I personally had to leave because realized that my personal and professional goals could not simultaneously be reached while going through this program. But I highly recommend the program for anyone who can put in the time and work.

Cons

I wouldn't say this is a really a con but it is a lot of time and work. They cram 5 years of management training into 9 months. So if someone does not have a strong drive or good work ethic it might not be the right opportunity for them.
