Interviewer beware... - Account Executive Mac Collective Employee Review

The environment is fun and friendly. The owner is very understanding of any personal shortcomings and is willing to work everyone to help them succeed in what they do for the company. Everyone is willing to work together and it makes the day go along easier.

I haven't experienced any cons at this time

-Friendly and fun atmosphere and coworkers, doesn't even feel like work half of the day -Surprisingly flexible and accommodating to my schedule -Great comission percentage, can make a lot of money. -Great training program that enables you to do well -Leadership skills aquired -Even if you do not stay, the experience looks great on your resumé -Positive attitudes -Competitive yet helpful environment -Office outings -Travel -After learning strategies, the sales aspect becomes fun and easy -Goal oriented -Great for character development -No seniority -No politics -Constantly learning -Freedom and independence when working in the field (can take breaks when you want to) -Freedom of dress within the means of professionalism -Feeds your drive and motivation to do well

-Must sacrifice free time to be successful -Very demanding in time and energy -Some days, no sales=spent 10 hour work day with no pay -Must stay positive ALL the time and that may not be realistic but helps in the long run -Long hours -No base pay, requires hard work, this job is not for lazy people. -Not reimbursed for gas (you are required to drive long distances) -"if you're on time, then you're late" policy is kind of annoying. -No paid vacation -No benefits -You are working, even when you are not at work (customer calls, writing your own review every week, write your own pay spreadsheet, writing speeches and presentations) -First 3 levels of promotion you do not get paid more even though you are doin 3 times more work as entry level account executives.
