I loved working at TSM for all but the very last year I was there.

It was challenging, it taught me so much about the corporate landscape and working in that environment. It was the perfect blend of creativity and professionalism. 

My previous job had very few benefits and barely any PTO-- so what TSM offered was a dream come true for me. No complaints there. I also loved my staff and still miss them to this day. 

I also had some fantastic mentors and really came to trust them over the years. Mainly because there was open communication between the multiple levels of management. You were free to share feedback and information about your markets and they would listen! 

Somewhere along the line, this changed. By the time I accepted another job an left the company, there was a general feeling of distrust towards regional and corporate management. Hopefully they have made the necessary changes to correct this--because it was a great place to work for quite some time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I enjoyed my co-workers and the benefits that came with the job.

Autonomy to do what needs to be done to make progress.

The company is very stressful overall, the benefits are bad, and the pay is not competitive. Management tries to be supportive but fails the employees 99% of the time, and help is not really given by them. Co-workers in the same position are great people and always willing to help out where they can, but the work load is high and tedious for everyone. Not a lot of places you can grow in the company other than in sales, and it’s a typical competitive sales environment. 

It's death by inches. It's fun at first, but then they keep adding their plate little by little. When someone leaves, often times they aren't replaced and you get more on your plate. 10-12 hour days were not uncommon. Unrealistic goals....and they constantly hound you about not making your goals. It's relentless. It felt like the corporate people really didn't understand all the daily responsibilities of programming people in addition to writing posts daily. It was overwhelming.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Outside sales of all digital and radio advertisements

This company can be a little too focused on retention rates, even when it means scamming customers or making promises you can't reasonably fulfill. If your retention or sales are considered underperforming, you will be called out in front of all of your peers. 

Management was unsupportive from the very start and training was unorganized. My manager would frequently leave or take vacations while I was still in training, and I never received formal training even after being in the role for months. Also, the base salary drops after a few months under the guise that commission should increase. 

Management micromanages and goes behind your back, signs clients up and doesn’t tell their account executives that have the account in their name. Compensation isn’t what was expected. Turn over is crazy in one year.
