Pros

Decent pay for those who could stick it out for the long haul, occasional free food, some pretty cool people

Cons

Where to start. First, this place is the quintessential "revolving door". They never stop hiring, ever. People are constantly being fired or quitting. When they quit it's usually out of frustration. For me, it was sheer boredom. Bottom line - they have 30 people doing the work of 20. They could stop hiring now and probably be set for the next 5 years, as there are a handful of committed, successful people there that could easily handle the volume. But no. They continually bring in new staff, to whom they advertise "warm leads, no cold calls", etc. Then you sit and wait for the phone to ring. And wait, and wait. When it finally does, it's for one of he other reps who was too lazy to give the client their direct extension. So, then you go to the back of the line. And wait, and wait. Now, if you can stand the extreme boredom and the clique-ish atmosphere, and still manage to succeed, you will probably be doing pretty well after a few years. There are reps there who are making good bank. But it definitely takes a certain personality type to be successful here. I was doing fine in sales, no problems, and poised to continue to grow. But I couldn't stand coming to work each day. I felt like I was wasting my life here. And also, they foster a backstabbing type of atmosphere. For instance, when I worked there, there was specific things I was told NOT to do when I was in training. Then, a few months later, they were telling the new reps to do the exact same things they told me not to do. Kind of irritating if you are the kind of person who follows the rules. There was one guy who was outright STEALING orders from other reps, and I'm pretty sure he still works there. When someone quits, the way they allocate that person's account base shows favoritism in the worst way. So, if you're a self-respecting person who plays fair and who doesn't like to waste time, you probably won't fit in. If you don't mind sitting around bored all day, or like to hang with high school-style cliques, and don't mind screwing others over, you'll probably love it.

Of the 28 successful, professional Sales Account Managers on our team who have seen their annual sales increase on our way to over 10% company growth in 2014, none of them are the "sit back and wait" type. We are looking for Account Managers who are proactive, motivated, hungry, talented sales professionals who enjoy warm opportunities and have a passion for consultative selling. Our talented sales people are far too busy helping their customers to ever be bored at PrintGlobe. The promotional product and printing space is a competitive one, and one that we have become a leader of in large part because our team is made up of the best sales talent in Austin. We are continually looking for the best and the brightest to join the team and help us continue our pattern of growth. We added 4 new outstanding Account Managers in 2014 who have achieved their sales goals and who are poised to be among our next sales leaders.

Pros

Co-workers are nice. No strict dress code

Cons

Reviews are worthless- No clear plans for improving. No time to get established. Base pay always remains the same. Hire in "herds" and hope someone sticks
