Pros
Great job! Working here will teach you how to be confident in yourself, build work ethic, organization skills, responsibility and how to talk to others and deal with negativity. Training is great and they do a good job of slowly bringing you into a world that your not familiar with. The scheduling for employees are also really flexible to your schedule. I worked 4 hours a day while I attended school. On top of that everyone here is a joy to be around. They all are there to help you get through the day whether it's going bad of good. Sharly, the President of IOBC, is also a treat she funny and she is care free and doesn't hang over her employees like a dictator. Overall, all the employees in IOBC are friendly people that are extremely supportive of each other and only want to see you and the company grow into something we can all be proud of.
Cons
Now if you are not a strong willed person this job is not for you. As an, executive relations representative, your job basically boils down to you calling business owners and accountants to set up a meeting for your partner (CPA). During these calls you may end up talking to people that aren't too fond of you. You cannot let those people drag you down because if you do you will not enjoy your time her at IOBC. Going into this job you have to understand you will always get a lot of no's before you get a yes. Sooo.. with that being said If you want to have the best experience you have to be confident and have a mentality that no matter how crappy some people may act it won’t affect you. Lastly, this job does have a certain criteria that you have to fulfill every week when it comes down to production on your part. This is not the con, but instead it does have a bit of stress that comes with it. The good thing is though if you’re starting out for the first time at the company. You will have at least 2-3 weeks after training before you have to fit within these goals. These goals may range from meetings per week to how many emails you send to owners of big companies. What’s great is you are also in charge of your own goals, but if you’re not able to pull your own weight you may feel like crap. In summary, this job is great if you don't mind calling or just talking to people. To be successful you got learn to just to sit back relax and don't over think about what you’re saying to these big name people and, "you will be in good hands". ALLSTATE!
