Pros

-pay is decent -most people are very smart, friendly, and driven -associates are given a lot of responsibility early on in their careers -chance to gain skills in project management, market research, sales, organization, negotiation

Cons

-extremely unfulfilling job -success is solely measured based on your numbers and you are constantly reminded of where you stand compared to your peers; you have a monthly quota that you are expected to hit and you are reprimanded if you do not reach it even just one month -does not support employee career goals or curiosity to transfer roles within the company -the leadership team is corrupt and chooses favorites -when associates voice concerns, they are ignored -bonuses are awarded unfairly and each book of business has very different pipelines -micro management to the max with many touchpoints with your team throughout the day to check on what you have done and what you you have left to do

Pros

All around really great people culture, for the most part everyone is super driven and willing to help You definitley do earn early responsibility especially if you show early aptitude It's fun getting to own client relationship at a young age

Cons

Work and day can be tedious and feel repetitive, you must like talking to people all day, every day The hurdle performance tracking can be stressful for younger Associates Increasingly tighter competition as clients seek to find cheaper alternatives Exit opportunities can feel limited to account management/customer success work
