Pros

Was offered a pretty good salary with decent medical coverage. An array of advertising inventories to craft proposals - their own cable TV channel, online site and social media handle.

Cons

Have to work with executives that do not have a sense of urgency, only got informed of certain tasks at the very last minute. Still using outdated sales recording system instead of Salesforce, alongside TV logging system that is user-unfriendly. Bosses like to monitor user status via Slack, creepy much. Also, a platform to dump tasks that should be communicated via email. Conferences start either super early or super late due to the 13-hour difference from the US.

Branded, that's all Nothing else that's positive Got to write 20 word

Cons

Poor on boarding. Bad culture. Colleagues not willing to help at all. You got to fish in the sea for every piece of information. Work as a swear shop, 9 am to 10pm.
