OK for temporary job... terrible for a career - Account Executive Rainmaker Systems Employee Review

Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with and that is what made me stay there longer than I should have. It serves as a good place to get experience working on many different technologies. It helped me land a much better job working as a Territory Manager for Microsoft.

Cons

A portion of management was absolutely horrendous and a complete joke. One of the last managers I had was notorious for throwing her reps under the bus to cover her abysmal management skills. The last straw for me was I had a planned vacation scheduled months in advance, as time approached for me to take off she stated that the needs of the account required me to work (in 5 years there I have never heard this rule used). If I were to take the previously approved vacation it was an act of resignation. I was ready to walk and had to get the Site Director involved then to be told I could take the time off. She would not show her face around me again even though she was still technically my boss. Shortly after that event, I found a great job and my only regret was wasting 5 years working there.

Pros

Free bad coffee. Good location, friendly coworkers.

Cons

I went through 6 weeks of poor training that mostly involved the trainers and management talking about what they were going to have for lunch rather than helping me with questions that I had. I hounded them for over a month about some time off that I made them aware of during my interview. I was finally approved the time off the day before I had to leave town. Needless to say, I was ecstatic with my manager about the approval. They then called me three days into my time off and left me a voice mail saying that I was fired. I was the top seller in my campaign and had my time off approved. I was shocked to hear the news. I called back and left my manager a voice mail. She never called me back. From what I heard from other associates, Rainmaker shows a lot of favoritism, and so they kept the associates that would buy their manager Starbucks every morning and let some of their other top associates go to save some money. Poor company with a stupid gong that they hit during high call volume in the middle of the center. No guidance, high expectations, little pay-off.
