Pros

Large company. Lots of opportunities to pursue.

Cons

Run by salesmen who promote salesmen. Preach company values of RISE - Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence. It looks good to the client and helps close the deal. But blatantly dishonest with employees. They know you can’t do anything. Lots of client surveys and internal surveys from corporate that impact account manager’s bonuses. Account management bends over backwards to skew surveys in their favor. They will completely violate their core principles for short term gain. Employees are not safe.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

- Clients are prioritized way over employees. - Employees are seen as expendable. - High-performing employees were fired for no cause being told their positions were eliminated, only for those positions to be retitled and rehired immediately thereafter. - Limited to no opportunities for advancement. - Management prefers to hire from outside rather than promote from within. - Experienced blatant retaliation by senior management after filing HR complaint. When HR was notified, they did nothing about it.
