Good Pay, disorganized

Business development manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, smart people to work with, great benefits with a strong focusing on developing people. Good training programs if you are wanting to get your MBA and work up the food chain

Cons

Will drive you into the ground, poor leadership, constant changes are made with no real long term direction. Management is short sighted due to it being a publicly traded company.
