Great starting block - but you won't look back!

Account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Pay, work is like a 'game' (in sales-y phone jobs at least), youthful and somewhat 'fun' atmosphere, good managers, somewhat flexible around school, bonuses and commissions are paid fast

Cons

they are whip drivers, force unethical motives/goals in your day-to-day duties (selling overpriced products to those who won't use it, etc.) also very 'restricted' - can't leave desk or visit outside the corporate intranet, not good for morale! you don't really feel like you are getting compensated what you should for selling the higher-margin products...
