Pros

Product is decent; people there are nice and very proud of their work. Reasonable hours.

Cons

A _lot_ of meetings... meetings about meetings... meetings about planning meetings. Meetings to discuss the meetings last week to plan the meeting next week. Very much a frat boy / sorority girl culture, which is not meant in a negative way--all the people were super nice--but I definitely did not fit in, and we all felt it. Although they're growing rapidly and I'm happy for their success, it definitely felt like they were expanding faster than they could manage. Policies that worked for a team of 10 didn't really work for a team of 50 (and growing) and they didn't seem eager to re-evaluate.

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.
