Pros

Is still a somewhat respected brand

Cons

Management by inspection and threat. I was put on a "self directed performance plan" 4 months after going territory live coming out of training in Ft. Myers. This was after closing 3 large client renewals (including a globally consolidated agreement, where prior AE's had failed), which I had to then fight to get paid on, with no help from my junior manager, who was awful and terrible in front of clients. This and extreme micromanagement have led to an ongoing revolving door of Account Executives. My FLM demanded his team bcc him on all client emails.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
