Pros

Pay is good but definitely not the best.

Cons

Prospective employees: When I first started here I was wondering why their turn over rate was over 50% but after being subjected to incompetent management that picks and chooses what rules/policies to enforce and against whom I can see why, I exceeded my monthly goal during my tenure but never got acknowledgment from any member of management but the moment I made TWO errors out of the 12,000 plus tasks that I completed, management was quick to acknowledge that and in a condescending manner. Work life balance is not possible here as the turn over rate is so high that they subject you to mandatory over time so depending on the shift you can start as early as 8 AM and stay as late as 10 PM. Their attendance policy is enforced depending on the supervisor and every employee is subject to more slack than others depending on the supervisor. Overall the job itself is easy but it definitely has its drawbacks.

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.
