Pros

If you're just out of school or early in your career, this place is great. Lots of promos, flex schedules, casual work environment, tons of other people your age so a great place to start building your network and collect titles that will help you advance at other companies. Salary is fine. Closes for 2 weeks at the holidays which is a nice break. It's your typical start up structure: hire young, pay mediocre, give fancy titles the real world knows you can't earn by 30.

Cons

If you're not in your first five years of your career you might find yourself frustrated. No development for senior professionals and the millennial-ness of it all is exhausting. No one's really held responsible for anything because we want everyone to be happy at work and like us. Clear favoritism across multiple departments. Lots of business buzzwords to make ourselves feel like we're "doing business". Typical MBA run company.

Pros

- I had a great experience with Managers & Directors when I was there. Even the most sr level leaders offer up their time to the most junior level sales folks. - Fun times with colleagues. Lots of entertaining personalities in break-out sessions in the office and lots of laughs at happy hours. - Competitive commission. You get out what you put in. - The Marketing Programs Associate role is a great entry level job out of school. Opportunities for promotions if you're consistent, communicative about your goal to be promoted, and patient.

Cons

- I had asked for remote flexibility and didn't get it (maybe others will have more luck). - Often the problems sales folks run into are diagnosed by sr leadership as the salespeople's mistake, rather then a flaw in the business. Sometimes that's fair. That said, the squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say... if you keep going back to management with well-reasoned issues/arguments, then eventually they'll work with you to find a solution - not just throwing suggestions at you about what/how you ought to be better. - The role stays essentially the same regardless of level.

Pros

Great coworkers and training program. You'll definitely learn a lot in your first year and have fun doing it.

Cons

Most of the management for non-senior reps is very micromanaging. Be prepared to get messages from your manager every hour or two about one thing or another. If you don't crush your quotas, also expect a lot of scrutiny and 1:1s with multiple managers from the first sign of struggle. Most people in the org have either been there for 5+ years (senior reps) or less than 2 years, with most people leaving around 2-3 years in, so take that as you will.
