CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced environment, great learning opportunities, chance to share thoughts and work alongside the best minds in the industry

Cons

Insatiable focus on metrics leading to stress, too much travel, poor work life balance, poor salary structure particularly for analysts, crazy and totally unrealistic expectations from analysts to travel all the time and deliver and yet take nothing away from their sales support in terms of financial benefits, performance appraisals still being done through the dreaded bell curve method..thousands of metrics to drown the analysts in numbers

Things to Ask Your Recruiter

Business development executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits, and salary while in academy.

Cons

Horrible politics, and location. They need to recruit because half of every academy doesn't work there after a full calander year. Meaning a lot of people stay in Ft Myers due to leases and other obligations. Your manager can make you or break you, so make sure they like you.
