Pros

Great people Skill development Innovative products Genuine leadership Career mobility So. I worked with these guys for the summer and I loved them. They really taught me about work ethic, interpersonal skills, a business management. It's all about people and balance. I became better at managing myself and took a lot of pride in seeing others development as a result of some of my teaching. It was a great opportunity to learn new skills in marketing and sales and put them into practice. Coming from the west coast I saw their products already over there and I thought it was a great chance to be part of a growing firm in Miami. Everything was straightforward and the new manager Andres works just as hard, if not harder, as the promotional staff. The training was very hands-on and they went about the sales and marketing aspect in a professional way. I also earned more than what I was making before, and advanced within 2 months as a supervisor.

Cons

A lot of the younger representatives were unreliable or irresponsible and I feel that management should have had a zero-tolerance policy for them. It was a shame, especially because management are good people. More team events would have been great, too, despite having dinners now and then.

Pros

It's a great introduction to a career in sales and marketing. The fundamentals are catered to people with or without formal education in marketing, sales, finance, business, etc.. Growth is definitely tangible and the support is there to advance. I like that hard work is rewarded and there is no limit really on where you can go or achieve in this business. For my generation, especially, there is no other opportunity out there like this. The world market has changed, but careers in sales and marketing still thrive because we're needed.

Cons

Hard work is not for everyone, and this definitely separates the men from the boys. Sales and marketing bear an unfair stigma. I think that it definitely makes it a more lucrative field because if it were easy, then everyone would do it and there would be no opportunity. That being said, for better or worse, people learn a lot about themselves. I think that the manager is great and does a lot of the heavy-lifting, but he really shouldn't have to.
