Pros

- Looks good on resume for other employers

Cons

- Being an AMM is like being lowest on the food chain - VERY political! - You can't have any kind of meeting without an extensive powerpoint deck that your manager made you stay up all weekend working on, only to pick apart ten times - Passive aggressive culture where nobody can give honest opinion - Unrealistic amount of work given to one person - Location - Minneapolis is a nightmare of cold weather and cold people
