Pros

Education on asking the right questions and having a job description at interview

Cons

I was given tiny accounts, the gentleman that 'shared' the area had worked there for nearly 20 years and received every 'good/solid' lead. I had an impossible quota (given the circumstances). I did not have an 'assistant' to book my commercials. I was not local to the Branch and only 'in-house' reps received help. I had 0 training on nearly everything. I worked 12-14 hours trying to get everything done (and I had tiny accounts). I had to be the 'collections agent' for my clients that were not up to date. Ultimately, I was fired, in front of my 12 year old daughter (who my boss knew would be at the office with me, due to a holiday). The 'boss' (was a 'company man') and the gentleman who 'shared' the territory with me were friends outside of the workplace. My position was not filled. The accounts I had went to the other rep.

Pros

My coworkers were kind, but everyone was drowning in work, leaving little chance to actually connect or support each other.

Cons

- Working at Viamedia was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. What I expected to be a fresh start turned into one of the worst experiences of my career. - There was no training, no guidance, and no support. I was thrown into the job and expected to perform flawlessly from day one. - Any mistake, no matter how small, was met with anger and humiliation instead of patience or proper instruction. - Once I managed to figure things out on my own, the workload only became heavier, the pressure unbearable, and the exhaustion constant. - Everyone is buried under endless tasks, too overwhelmed to even help one another. - The leadership is shockingly unprofessional, driven by greed and arrogance rather than sense or fairness. - Unrealistic goals are shoved onto employees, and when the inevitable failures happen, blame gets dumped on those at the bottom. - Transparency is nonexistent, accountability is avoided, and the entire structure runs on fear and favoritism. - The company’s so-called “leaders” are more like ringmasters in a circus of bad decisions, pretending to know what they are doing while the rest of us suffer the fallout.
