Pros

- Great Training if you're a fresh grad or new to the industry. Does feel a bit redundant after a year or so. - High energy, fun people - Good office spaces - A chance to make a lot of money

Cons

- Low base pay. $40k/yr - You'll hear "If you stay you'll be successful" but in my experience it's "if you're successful you'll stay" and most people aren't. - This is location dependent but in my office (in a smaller territory) there seemed to be no interest in our services. 2-3 other Account Managers had ownership over the only large accounts and the rest of us had to fight for scraps. The way they handle account ownership is a gift and curse. - Heavyyyyy grind culture. I love working hard as the next guy but when I put out 300+ manual cold calls a day, week after week, with no success and my manager's only advice is to try harder, that'll wear you down. - Very high turnover. I made a friend group at training of 5 other people when I started. In less than 2 years 5/6 of us left (including me). Most office seem like revolving doors of employees - Kind of feels like they use young people as pawns. Get them to hustle for 1-2 years, hope that they get lucky and strike gold, and if they don't just tell them they need to be "Grittier." I watched incompetent people make absurd amounts of money and very talented people fail time and time again.
