The job is amazing, but there are serious issues with management and company culture. - Marketing Sales Consultant American Press Employee Review

Positive work environment. Meaningful work.

Can't think of any at this time.

Good place to gain sales skills and training. Enhance your communication skills, organization and more! Some independence in what you want to sell and occasionally asked for input. Customers in this department are mostly friendly which makes the job bearable. Employees are all good people just overloaded and stressed. Best part is NO weekends! Mostly 8-5 unless there are special sections or you are waiting for ad proofs. You are expected to stay and finish what you sell.

Overall the office is poorly managed and there are unrealistic expectations; micromanaging is constantly increasing and there are tons of meetings that should be emails and emails that should be meetings. (Manager in this department has the most meetings and works outside the office as well so you should expect answering lots of calls.) Lots and lots and lots of training and tons of training videos. Normally I wouldn’t list this as a con but it’s very excessive. One should expect to multi-task like you’ve never multi-tasked in your life. You will get the impression that quality isn’t top priority; speed is necessary. Company no longer employs a graphic designer and outsources the work. (Sometimes employees design their own ads to save time and stress) This change means you will spend more time with the ad design and customer which will slow you down. Extremely high turnaround makes the job more stressful. I think this is due to a combination of low wages, high expectations and the way the company says they value employees but does not show it in meaningful ways. This is a corporate environment and as such you should expect to always be asked to do more and better which could be a deterrent for some personalities. When they say jump you say how high. Company does not give raises. You must sell more to make more. Commission rate in this department is lower than most retail positions. *a very strong, experienced salesperson could expect to commission between $300-500 a month with time.
