Pros

The people are great there, some of the training team is kind of wack, but the material is easy to learn. You get you own desk, and you can decorate. They have a lot of benefits, that I've never even been offered at other jobs. I don't know about bonuses I haven't been there that long. All in all it's one of the easiest jobs I've ever had and there is always openings so it's easy to move up in the company, you just have to want what you deserve and make it yours. You gotta beat the best to be the best. Great company to have a career with.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is having different starting times every day, no set schedule, and you only get two 10 minute paid breaks. My other job is two 15 minute paid breaks which gives you time to eat and go to the bathroom whatever. Other than some rude customers nothing is really bad about this place.

Pros

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Cons

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
