Pros
Wide array of cross functional learning opportunities, however you will not be paid any different, in fact, you will be told after the fact that this was always expected of your position; AND you should have known better and NOW you need to work harder to catch things that are not in your hands or knowledge of skill set to complete.
Cons
- Gross negligence for employee work life balance. - Empty promises of advancement, salary increase, incentive security etc., from day one. - Fake personal relationships internal & external; consider this a place of work to build your own business connects, wait out any signed agreements & build on your own terms. - HEAVY micromanagement, can't express this enough, you WILL need to document every key stroke of entry on the provided ARK equipment. - Be prepared to be berated in front of your co-workers on a regular basis. - Lack of accountability from Sales staff, back-office resorts to picking up all the slack for over 200 employees. - On any given day the entire system can break down & it's all the back-office's fault to recover. - So much finger pointing of blame when things go wrong. - Expectation of knowledge exceeds any written or verbal communication of work. - Your time will be spent justifying each breath & word spoken to any member on or offsite. Specifically emails to ARK clients. - Lack of communication. Your supervisor will tell you one thing, hide important information from you and then a code 5 alert will be rung to fix a mistake made by Supervisor lack of communication. - You better have a memory like an elephant not to mention the ability to take word for word meeting notes in order to forecast what the Management team neglects to instruct.
