American City Business Journals Circulation Sales:   (Current Employee)

Pros

The job is quite simple and anyone could do it. In fact, they can ever keep this position fid because of the turnover rate, so there will always be a job available. The days are all different depending on what days you go to networking events to try and sell a subscription.

Cons

They expect you to sell 7 subs a week at a minimum. This is not impossible, but you will not make anything decent unless you sell 10 a week and probably need more and you will soon realize its not worth the effort. Do yourself a favor and work somewhere else with a better base and a better product because no one wants to be a subscriber to a newspaper anymore- they are dying out in case you hadn't noticed.

Advice to Senior Management

The micromanagement you will receive on a constant basis is borderline stalkerish. There also needs to be better communication about new products/services instead of telling one department at a time.
