Pros

My direct coworkers were fun.

Cons

I would echo a lot of the complaints I’ve seen in the other reviews. Pay is below average and annual raises were in the 2-3% range. At one point I received a title increase without a pay increase. There was a revolving door of people starting then leaving the company within a year. There were a handful of agents who were a nightmare to deal with. Rude, always mad, and it was always our fault. Most times it seemed like the marketers had their backs over the operations team because they didn’t want to lose their cut of the commission. Overall, it felt like the marketers looked down on the operations staff. This wasn’t the case for all of them, but it was the overall feeling. Felt like a dead end job with no meaningful room for growth. Benefits were below average as well with the 401k match only being 50% match up to 3%. No equipment supplied for remote work.

Dear Former Employee, We appreciate you taking the time to inform us as to how you felt about your time at Gradient. We have reviewed the concerns you brought forward. At Gradient, we conduct a thorough compensation review each year, going to market to compare our pay rates against industry data from similarly sized companies. We carefully evaluate each role based on the knowledge, skills, abilities, and workload required. Based on this research, we’re confident that all positions at Gradient are compensated fairly. Regarding employee turnover, over the past five years, our organization has consistently maintained a turnover rate below the national average for companies of similar size and industry. Notably, 2024 marked our lowest turnover rate within that five-year period. We recognize that customer interactions can vary, and we appreciate the professionalism our team brings to every situation. Our focus remains on providing respectful, high-quality service, even when conversations may be more challenging. Similarly, many of our marketers work hard to support and collaborate with all teams, including operations. While it sounds like Gradient wasn’t a great fit for your employment, we have many employees who are thriving and growing in our environment. We are hopeful that your current or future employer will better match your skillset and needs.

Pros

This is by far the best job I've ever had. They have discovered that happy employees=hard working employees. We have a lot of food days, a lot of social activities and everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other it makes for an extremely fun work place! It's not everywhere that a VP will come around each morning and knows each employees' name and hypes everyone up for the day! They also VERY much believe in a healthy work life balance, in two years they've only had overtime once and it was 100% voluntary. Cannot get enough of this place! There is a lot of room for growth, including laterally and they do not believe in seniority, if you're new and do great they're going to reward you more than someone doing average who may have been here for years. Each individual person is accepted for how they are and what they bring to the table, if you're loud and gregarious and like walking around saying hi to everyone it's encouraged just as much as if you prefer to sit quietly and keep to yourself - there's no judgement either way.

Cons

I have no cons to report.
