Positive Transition from Intern to Salaried Account Manager

Jr key account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very competitive pay. Good benefits. Positive culture. Competent coworkers. Understanding leadership.

Cons

Need to be a strong self-advocate/self-starter. Can lack diversity depending on the office. Interns are not guaranteed a placement even if they're good. You need to be considered great to compete in this very lean workplace. Not sure if my local leadership truly believes in the DEI/Sustainability initiatives set by global.
