Pros

Good culture in other offices. They really want to create a family like atmosphere. Also, its a lot of good skills earn for future careers

Cons

The account executive and account manager position is the same. If you are interested in booking, do not apply to be an account executive. You make 10k less and do the same position. This may not seem like a big deal....but when you work as an AE for years, other companies you apply for think you just create new partnerships. You do not. you manage accounts. Booking just does that because they want to pay you less. And its extremely hard to move up to an account manager with the current management in Chicago. So you become stuck. The Chicago office management is poor. Lack of communication. The system that tracks your performance is always broken. You have to fight to get a decent performance. If you go above and beyond in your position, you may not get paid more in bonus. You have to impact the entire region or USA (not being dramatic. Its legit). And after that, you may get around $500 more. I only recommend working here if you are unemployed or just really need sales experience....But do not stay here long.
