Pros

The only positive coming into work each day was seeing my coworkers and knowing we were going to endure the same hell every day. Yes they offer some good benefits but it's because it is a horrible place to work where you're just a number

Cons

I have worked many years of inbound phone customer service jobs and I have NEVER EVER had customers treat the people the way me and my coworkers were treated on a daily basis. I am a Very positive and upbeat person and always try to find the little bit of positive in even the worst of situations but the constant verbal abuse that we had to put up with was unreal. The crazy thing is that PayPal could do something about it ---if someone can't get into their acct or give any of the personal info they should be able to provide we were not able to help them. I think as a company who claims to "care about their employees" they could stop the abuse. You give someone a warning if they do it again then they can only self service via the internet and if they continue being abusive you tell them they are no longer able to have a PP account. I literally had people calling me not only cussing me out but telling me to die and that my family should die and some other horrible terrible things I can not imagine EVER saying to someone I don't know who is trying to help you. I got to the point were I was suffering from severe depression because of the job and decided my mental health and well being was worth more than the money I was making there (which was just ok btw) I definitely would NEVER work for them again in any position. What they expect their employees to put up with and endure is SO unbelievable. There are WAY better corporate jobs out there with upper management that actually care about you and you're treating as a human not just another number.

Pros

PayPal has a lot of potential. It has two very strong brands in PayPal and Venmo with significant awareness and user bases that other companies envy. There are pockets of teams that are really pushing the envelop to reimagine what PayPal and Venmo could be—especially the Venmo team—and to move with speed given the company must stay focused and not waste time with Apple Pay, Shop Pay, and so many other competitors nipping at PayPal's heels and aggressively taking market share.

Cons

While some teams are pushing to self-disrupt and are moving fast, too many teams—and I'd argue the majority of the company–are living off of PayPal's laurels from the late 2010s through the pandemic. The culture and mindset have to change for the company to remain competitive. Otherwise, they are the Titanic and they're sinking slowly. The former CEO who only last 2 years tried diversifying the company's revenue, planning for the future. But the board and its former chairman (now new CEO) felt he wasn't moving fast enough to stabilize and marketshare. Instead, the board hired the former chairman who made computers and printers at HP—another sinking ship—to lead the oldest fintech company. The loss of confidence in the leadership team and the strategy are only accelerating.
