Cons
I really love working here and have gained so much hands on marketing, sales and managment experience so far. I am also about to be promoted and excited to take on more managment responsibility. When I finished my MBA I really wanted to work for a marketing company with Management Training offered and had a fun and challenging work environment. I found that with the Potomac Group.
However this may not be a good environment for people who are not willing work hard and want an 'easy' 9-5 job. Especially in the beginning, you've got to work hard and apply yourself. So if someone is looking for a handout or a position to coast at there might be other companies that offer a better fit.
