Sales & Marketing Associate - Commercial Bank
Pros: Good people who want to do work hard and do a good job.  Ability to handle multiple tasks and provide feedback on new rollouts and projects. Until the final year (when the the responsibility of cash management and account analysis was added), the role was an integral part of the sales team in the market.  The opportunity to make an impact and grow was fantastic. Great high-level key management (I.e. Jamie Dimon)
Cons: Senior management decided that the role would take on tasks of cash management along with responsibilities of sales support, marketing and event coordination.  The job responsibilities blossomed to a four-page description.  The roll was eventually phased out with the thought that the multiple tasks of the role could be dispersed among client services, sales and administrative support.  Unfortunately, that didn't work either and I believe the role was re-introduced a year ago. During the last year, the role was poorly managed and expectations were far beyond what little training (and time frame) they provided to everyone. Unfortunately, roles became very "boxed" and left little to no room for thinking and acting outside the "box".
