Pros
Working hours is short. With a lot of products to sell. Ultimately, for a salesperson, it's about having as many products as possible to sell. However, this can become a double-edged sword. Having said that, being in the right team gives you the support and freedom you need to close a sale, run special projects and routes for personal development outside of work.
Cons
Change of management has led to a very traditional way of running a media business. Many of the upgrades or updates of the business were very minuscule, but Head of Departments makes it a huge affair. eg; increase in clicks by 10% which is only 1 click in metrics. Having an HQ in the US doesn't make things easy for the Singapore team as the HQ's direction is very different. They do not understand the Local Landscape and pushes their methods on to us. After a change in management, the whole Singapore Business has become very profit driven and the customer's experience has not improved. Right now it's commission over the mission. If you are looking to learn how to multi-task, this will be the best place for you. In my role, I have to hunt for new clients(Business Development), farm existing client(Upselling), manage clients (Account Management), organise events (Events planning) and even do Social Media Marketing on our own as the Marketing Team is understaffed. If you have new ideas to improve the business, it will always be stuck in the implementing stage as different HOD has different KPIs, which leads them to only looking after their ownselves only.
