Pros
An amazing learning experience. If you show you’ve got what it takes, then you will have the opportunity to get involved in projects out of your job description, which proves very helpful for professional growth. In my time at SWMG, I’ve discovered strengths I didn’t know I had and learned a lot more than I ever anticipated. Solid team environment. In sales, for example, we are all working together towards a common goal. Expect seasoned employees to openly share their knowledge with you. All departments work together closely / open lines of communication between everyone Flexibility – after working in the office for 4 years, I was given the opportunity to keep my job when I relocated to a different state. It’s also pretty common for employees to move into different departments OR for management to create new position in order to best play to an employee’s strengths. Perfect environment for those with an entrepreneurial spirit and industrious attitude. Your hard work will be recognized. Great hours – office opens at 1030 Free spa treatments Generous amount of time off – 2 weeks vacation + an additional week off between xmas and New Years
Cons
Crunch time can be tough – if you’re in sales, you’ll be putting in extra hours right before the event and will be encouraged to work a couple of Saturdays Learning curve – there’s a lot to take in when you first start. There’s an expectation to take in a lot of info quickly.
