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?

    The actual job is good, but company culture is god awful

    Mar 30, 2023 - CRM Consultant in Richardson, TX

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The pay is really good.

    Cons

    Literally was told if you don't have at least 25 go to meetings over 10 min a week then you will not have a job here. There was no how can I help. My old boss clearly wanted me out. He said well, your a single Mom and this job seems like too much for you. Sexist as all get out. But what sucked more was when my Manager asked what he could do to help and I gave 3 or 4 things. His response was well it just sounds like you can't handle your job. Asked to help but just to flip it around and make me seem incompetent. In the same position I had a great boss just months before. He was beyond helpful and supportive. I think it just depends on which manager you get. I thrived with the good one. But the military like structure will mentally screw with you. They have a goal and will grind every bit of it out of you. You will never hear good job. Every year the Management team tries to get people to quit at yearly trainings. They give a speech and say there is the door, there is no shame in admitting you can't handle it. (2 years in a row I saw people get up and walk out) They said it was not worth the mental anguish of constantly waiting for the shape to drop. Working in fear wasn't worth it. Its quantity not quality.

    Poor Leadership

    May 12, 2023 - Performance Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Remote work. Benefits are Great. Clients appreciate your effort on an individual contributor level.

    Cons

    Leadship is disconnected. Compliment on performance then cut pay. Added addtional roles and responsibilities to existing portfolio without commensurate increase in pay. Direct Managers have ZERO influence therefore they are extremely ineffective and only protecting their existing roles.

    Fast paced and intense work. Easy yet hard!

    Aug 9, 2022 - Performance Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The base pay for the role is great. You have a huge team of other PM's so if you ever have a question or need help, the network is extensive and responds quickly. The expectations are laid out fairly simple. Work from home and occasional travel to dealerships. It's a position which requires you to be a student of your profession but the resources are absolutely there for you to take advantage of. You can make some great friends and contacts. It opens the door to a TON of other career opportunities within the Cox organization. It's the easiest hardest job you'll ever have.

    Cons

    Metrics seem to be on a continuous increase to hit goals. PTO is inherently counted against you in your weekly goals which detracts some from taking their time off. It felt like you were always taking on tasks that were not for you, some PM's have to manage their dealerships more so than the GM of that dealer. I personally felt like turnover was too high and that the turnover rate was never given the level of concern it should have been. Not a huge focus on associate development by the leadership team. Felt like they managed metrics instead of taking on more of a leadership role to develop the teams.
