Pros

Some of the clients were lovely people.

Cons

The interview process was pretty straightforward but the training is inadequate for all the responsibilities and expectations of the role. It takes 2 years in average to get “comfortable” my FA was very unprofessional, super control freak, would blame me for her mistakes, yell ar me while I was on the phone with clients and made the workplace absolute hell. Biggest mistake and would never go back. I lasted 8 months and it was torture. Depends on your FA of course, can be a better experience but still the amount of information you need to learn is insane for what they pay you.

Pros

My direct leadership and colleagues.

Cons

Absolutely horrible company, please do not work here. Employees are basically just cattle to them, and treated terribly. Internal politics and favoritism lead to mistreatment of great employees, and obsession with return to office has turned this company into a nightmare to work for. Layoffs are unnecessary, and leaves understaffed in critical areas, but we are still expected to meet the same deadlines. All the company wants is to find ridiculous ways to save money like switching to off shore resources, layoffs and unnecessary reorganization. Upper leadership doesn't listen to employees at all, we are punished even when we tell them something cannot be done.
