Account Manager
Pros: Flexibility, travel, high commission rate, you can get very lucky and make a lot of money for nothing (bluebirds),
Cons: Lack of transparency, nepotism, incredible lack of organisation at times, it can be like the blind leading the blind, always problems with account alignment, if you get the wrong product it will be impossible to sell, still using excel sheets to profile, account managers still do most of their own business development work, marketing is drastically under funded and generally useless, using old version of CRM that works horribly, extremely complex processes, the hardest part of the sales cycle is generating the OD for the customer, it can take months, canteen food can be brutal, also is not free.
