Pros

time off. wonderful women I work with

Cons

The pressure. All about New York and the management and the emails and the pressure about more, more and MORE. It used to be bad but know it is unbelievable! Nothing posititve this season. Commission is now so tight. We make our goals every year BUT still this year there is no way to earn extra money unless you are on a "special project". The work load doubled pretty much. t is reflected in the numbers but yet when you ask about it there is NEVER a straight answer much less a conversation. You work hard and harder but there are no rewards. No explanations even though we ALL have questions and are very unhappy. The only thing that keeps us going is that we are all SUDDENLY seven-month empoyees. No warning, again no conversation. Just here you go! Much less money this year. Which means much less life outside of the doors and more pressure too.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
