Pros

At first it seems like a cool company to work for, and they talk it up during the lengthy interview process. You have access to concert tickets and your schedule can be somewhat flexible.

Cons

Absolute worst management tactics and absolutely no training on the products you are expected to sell. 6 of us all started with the company at the same time in sales, and we are all gone. Majority of us had experience in other media sales and due to the lack of training and not having any management around ever to ask for help, it was preventing everyone from ever selling. They also changed their commission structure 4 times in one year while I was there. They would get rid of one group of people and hire a whole new round of them like the sales team they were hiring were the problem, when the root of the problems lie in the executive level. They are also almost 1 billion dollars in debt.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
