What is everyone’s thoughts on if you work on an automotive account and DO NOT get a car allowance. Is it bad if you buy another brand’s vehicle that better suits you or your family’s needs?

It makes me sad that your agency or the client is potentially making you feel that way. You can do what you want on your own time with your own money. That’s always been the case and will always be the case.

I had an experience in Detroit where my coworker had her car keyed on multiple occasions when visiting the client’s office. The car she had was not the same brand as the client. I’ve worked on multiple auto accounts in MI and CA and this was not an problem experienced in CA. I use this as a word of caution that there are jerks out there, but know that you situation and family needs should direct your purchase decision first.

Kinda like on the addidas spot where they asked me not to wear Nike but wouldn't buy me Addidas or give me addidas. Then I kid you not. Had me tape over the logo. Seriously?! And there on set we had about 200 pair of shoes. And I was the DoP. Lol

Our agency c-level always bought brand. The whole holding company usually gets access to the discount rate Ask around.

My auto clients will gladly give me a discount if I ask them.

You are an account person, and you are even ASKING this question?

I've worked on several auto clients, and their office parking lots were always full of competitive brands. So, that said what I needed to know

Simple, no.

I buy the client’s product, but the client has always easily given a discount code when asked

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
