Pros

Good clusters to sell, and having multiple products was a plus. Benefits were pretty good, and matching company 401k. Depending on account list, income can be decent.

Cons

Management changes meant the overall environment changed to more of a churn and burn. Management plays favoritism and if you are a favorite, then good for you, you will obtain a great account list and can do no wrong. If you are not, then you will struggle building your own list in a very fragmented medium that continues to get harder with people having so many options for music that is commercial free - MP3's, CD's, internet radio and the list goes on... Plan on long days and a lot of stress, including micro management if you are to succeed, and then sometimes even that is not enough. The industry has lost a lot of good people, and the majority are not making the 6 figures that they used to since young college grads will come do the job for 30 or 40 grand. Seniority and business acumen are not valued as they used to be.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
