Business outlook
Pros
Great personalities in coworkers Huge networking opportunities Entertainment business has its perks Can make really good money with good flexibility if you have the right managers You work for your manager, not the company
Cons
Extremely low success rate for new AEs - 20% or less will make it 18 months Politics, smoke and mirrors surrounding who gets what accounts Serious limitations on upward mobility - turnover is just as high for managers as AEs Corporate takeover - advertising / media is a lifestyle occupation and corporate approach ruins it Management overall just doesn't have their suff together Trying to compete in digital and event media without the real tools and assets
