Technical Account Manager

Being a woman in tech, I only recently started advocating for myself at work about advancement opportunities. Because of this I wanted to ask this question to my male counterparts. When you have 1:1's with your direct reports and talk about career growth / aspirations what is your managers’ response typically? I’d like to gauge how my experience (negative) differs from others. For instance are you met with blockades, enthusiasm, dread, etc?

    Pros

    They are organized. You can work either from home or outside but you are able to build up your schedule. They are really professionals and will send clients regularly. Benefits are good and the job is enjoyable.

    Cons

    Some clients may be difficult to deal with but not impossible. Knowing a little bit of physiology can help and then things will go on smoothly.

    Pros

    Varsity Tutors is the best organization I could ever imagine working for. From the amazing people to the incredible benefits I can not say enough great things about Varsity Tutors. I work with some of the smartest, hardworking and most genuine people I have ever met. The people at Varsity tutors become more then your coworkers, they become your best friends and biggest motivators. Varsity Tutors goes out of their way to make sure their employees are happy at all times from catering in food to celebrating every win to having and incredible work life balance. Varsity Tutors always has your back and truly cares about their employees happiness.

    Cons

    I can not think of any cons working for Varsity Tutors.

    It's Not So Bad...

    Pros

    The benefits are great once you are hired in full-time. You get 52 hours if tutoring, PTO, healthcare, and if you ate a homeschool parent, your kiddos get to participate in the School@Home program for free. That's right, for free. The pay isn't bad for this position and you are offered flexible hours. Also you are offered an uncapped bonus for met goals.

    Cons

    -the clients can be rude and impatient -work can be extremely fast paced -there is a lot of information to learn if you want to be successful at your job -can be sitting for extended amounts of time

    Working with Positive and Supportive Co-Workers at an Innovative Customer Focused Company

    Pros

    As others have posted it is awesome to be working from home and having a 5 second commute to work. However, beyond just the work from home opportunity Varsity Tutors is a company that cares what its employees think and works to include their suggestions into technology and policy changes. You also won't find a more caring and supportive group of colleagues who will stop what they are doing to answer questions and offer feedback whenever they can. Finally, you are working in the educational field so in terms of personal reward/satisfaction Varsity Tutors offers that as you know at the end of the day you are doing something that will help a student succeed.

    Cons

    While working from home is a big perk it isn't for everyone. You have to be able to create a work/life balance since work is only a few steps away. It can also mean you are a little isolated from your other coworkers. You can chat on Skype etc. but if you are a person who needs that 'office setting' with constant contact with coworkers and management you don't get that here. I believe the benefits of working from home outnumber the issues but again might not be for everyone.
