Pros

Good base salary, great training, (mostly) friendly co-workers, good atmosphere, lots of free lunches and free goodies from vendors.

Cons

One of the team managers is new, and the ego is easily bruised. Also seems insecure because does not like team members getting help from anyone else. Put us on the phones way too early. Make new AMs work old accounts that are long dead.

Thank you for sharing your experience in our Sales office in Itasca, Illinois. We are glad that the compensation programs, the work environment, and perks are well received. We concur that a good way to learn how to be successful in Sales is to learn from those who have already had success. Therefore, ego should never get in the way of us winning against our competition. Your Sales Manager’s success is also ensured by you having success. We certainly can look into this further. In all likelihood, your Sales Manager worked in Sales as an individual contributor, had past success, and can pass on good ideas for you to have a successful career. Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us.
