Not for Professionals - Account Executive Productive Employee Review

If you have the business spirit you can succeed at Productive. Management gives a lot of room to either succeed with great success or go down in flames. You need to be confident and want to do the hard work. If you are a true sales person you can make a very good wage here, if you are not a good sales person there are easier ways to make a living. The dedicated territory and flexibility in managing that territory is a huge plus.

If you do not like working for a small business Productive is probably not the place for you. There is no extra staff so you need to perform at your job to show value to the company. Productive has similar issues are all small business do.

Start-up feel, neat quirkiness, happy hours, freedom permits entrepreneurial attitude towards assigned territory, lots of partner attention, large customer base for the size of the company, discussing deals with management, actually pretty cool people, call reviews with seniors and peers improves newbie skill tremendously, unique value add, tools to succeed and learn tech industry quickly if you are very motivated, self-interested, ambitious, type A driver, great downtown location, short Fridays, fun holiday events, downtown parking pass, increased flexibility with top performers, public praise.

No real formal training, not a place to go and get a promotion, unnecessary pressure to be dishonest with partners and compromise relationships, not the greatest incentives for crushing the numbers, turnover can have impact on end user relationships and employee morale, dropping the ball on spiffs, public shaming.
