Some good... a lot bad in my group

Senior account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work/life balance, Pretty good benefits (Medical insurance is just OK), good commissions, Great PTO - they force employees to take time off, Well established tech brand. A lot of good people working there.

Cons

- Poor management - sales managers don't support reps, are absent when needed and a lot of cross-brand managers control rep pricing. -Multiple Glassdoor reviews state "random layoffs occur annually..." this is true as it happened to me in less than 10 months at Adobe. - Sales is very process heavy and very "secretarial" as reps do clerical work (ie processing $50 orders) - Poor onboarding for sales roles and product training -MGT sends mixed messages and changes sales plays weekly -Internal processes and systems within some groups are surprisingly awful for a F500 company. Client Data is different in different systems.
