Pros

competitive pay and great benefits. The company looks great and inspiring on the outside, depending on your department destination. Some of the fellow employees are great, made many friends working there.

Cons

Customer service department managers play favoritism. Very opinionated. Acceleration path leaves a lot to be desired. Treat you like you should be honored to work for them. Some of their customers can be very ruthless.

Pros

You get 40 hours of pto and 40 hours of UPT if you're paid hourly (which I was) basic account coordinator role starts off around $15.00 an hour. You can do OT. You also get stock vestments every year and at 4 years you cash in. Depending on the stock value at the time it could be upwards of $40k or more.

Cons

The members or clients they serve are horrible. They are uneducated and require a lot of hand holding and yell often. They actually have every right to yell because we lie to them a lot. We lie about deadlines or when we'll have stuff back but we never do. People will call every day multiple times a day and feel as if they are some sort of rock star writers. Some are grateful but most are horribly rude. I had an escalation every single day. The service offered was too complicated and too changing for the customers. The customers took it out on you and had no clue what they were doing. Management straight up said to me, "They didn't care how hard my job was." It's hard because they're making it hard and they could do so many things to make it better.
