Pros

Managers generally trust their assistants so they let you work autonomously. Marketing in particular was very dynamic. I enjoyed working on a variety of projects. One day I'd be sitting in front of an excel sheet, the next I'd be planning and decorating a convention booth.

Cons

The company is going through a transitional period and some employees are unsure of their footing. My department underwent a reorganization after the sale that many were unhappy about. The location is also very difficult to access via public transportation.

Pros

Great benefits package including company car, phone, computer, T&E, health & retirement. Great bonuses if you produce. National Sales Meetings have some enjoyable elements. Opportunity to advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Salary is low unless you produce and reach upper bonus tiers. Work schedule is heavy during sales season, 60 - 70 hour work weeks aren't uncommon. Some communication breakdown from upper management.
