ABMs are the workhorses that power this mighty marketeer! - Assistant Brand Manager Procter & Gamble Employee Review

gives real experience immediately and can add projects that interest you

very dependent on your manager

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
