Pros

Culture and people were great. Pay was okay. Lots of unexpected gifts and swag will show up at your front porch.

Cons

Poor management. Unrealistic expectations in terms of metrics you need to hit in order to advance/grow with the company. I have had my meetings regarding reviews rescheduled up to a month later than originally scheduled which hindered my advancement. Stats/metrics are severely impacted by your team/coworkers. Turn over rate is high and management is super lenient on taking time off which creates more work for others or yourself. Management is not quick to respond when reaching out for assistance or regarding personal matters. You are told to expect a certain amount of calls a day but receive double instead. Almost impossible to manage the sheer volume of emails and calls to meet your metrics in order to receive a promotion. Training was poor and did not prepare you enough to jump into the role. Do not work here unless you are desperate for work.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
