Pros

The management and team do seem to care. They try to do fun things for employees and try to make nice incentives for doing well such as ending your day early. Work from home is nice as well. Benefits are really good and PTO is better than most places. Starting base pay is also better than many places

Cons

Commission is not what they tell you in the interviews. You don't make nearly as much as they say you can. The turnover is ridiculous. They hire 20+ plus new people a month to keep up with everyone quitting. The few months I was there I saw more people quit without notice than any other job, some even taking paycuts. The actual job itself is awful. You have to make 80+ cold calls a day, 20+ emails, on top of constant meetings, zoom calls, and role playing. You barely have time to use the bathroom without falling behind because of their extremely high call numbers and goals. If you don't hit your call targets or goals the sales coach will call you out in front of your team. The sadness coach also don't do much coaching. They will just tell you that you aren't doing a good job but not try to help or educate you. I had one sales coach tell me I should save him time and just quit. They did their best with training since everyone was work from home. But you really miss out on observing current employees and not hearing them making calls.

Pros

Most money I've ever made in this type of role. Manageable workload for the most part, unless you grab too many complex tickets or have things start to go sideways. Great benefits. Fun team atmosphere and culture. Have seen many people on my team get promoted into higher roles so far, so I feel like I can take my path in my own hands and push it as far as I want.

Cons

Disorganized and constantly evolving processes that live and die by "FYI's", many that you only suss out when you come across a new situation. They've tried to codify a lot of processes and have done a good job, but many are still "you need to find out in order to know". No robust task system that is oriented by roles and expectations/capabilities rather than individual's names, which is... ponderous. Need a role to do something? Go look in a directory for the person doing that at the moment (subject to change, may not be updated/old info, person could be on vacation, etc) then send it to them, rather than dropping a task in a bucket that someone assigned to that role sees. The difference sounds small but it's immense in practice. Some of the fees and charges a customer can accrue are difficult to explain because they're nakedly bill stuffing.
