Asurion Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Great training from smart and competent people. Promote from within. Diverse workplace. Plenty of feedback and helpful coaching. Fair pay and benefits and some scheduling leeway considering it's a time clock punch job. Very understanding through pandemic and work life balance. They listen to me.

Cons

Performance metrics takes some time to figure out how to balance it. High turnover rate. Forced to change shift hours once a year or so.

Pros

Great Vacation Time & Work Life Balance. Wonderful culture. They care about their community. Excellent pay and bonus structure.

Cons

It can be hard to get promoted or climb the ladder. Lots of middle management. 401K is severely lacking compared to other big companies. No match for 12 months is a joke.

Pros

* Asurion has a above-average work-life balance as long as you set clear boundaries. * Salary and benefits are competitive * The latest technologies are used and teams are encouraged to experiment * The work is fulfilling * Management does not put unrealistic expectations on product * Various internal programs to advance your career and competencies, including regular continuing education sessions, guilds, and working groups. * Extremely diverse company

Cons

* Developers are promoted via a quarterly nomination and voting process held amongst senior developers and above. As a result... * Office politics are brutal. No one here is your friend, and it's often cutthroat. * Senior level developer and above is effectively an old-boys club (albeit more diverse than that). Career progression does not depend on competency, work ethic, or other reasonable metrics, but rather solely on playing the office politics game - and winning votes. * Developers often switch teams and/or managers (I have had four different managers in my short time here). * Management is fairly disorganized. There are often two teams working on identical projects. Once this is realized, the office politics begin again. * merit-based raises are practically non-existent other than an annual COL adjustment.

Pros

Exposure to new technologies. Domestic US and international travel.

Cons

Poor work/life balance. Poor project prioritization, pulls team members in multiple directions simultaneously. Little to no regard for team or individual capacity limits when committing to project completion tasks or dates. Believes any problem can be solved by throwing enough money at it. Has a well-earned reputation as a revolving door, or a meat grinder that 'chews them up and spits them out'.

Pros

They have handled covid-19 well. Friendly culture. Have some interesting projects to work on.

Cons

Onboarding onto a new team can be rough, I received very little guidance. Also the standards for when you are eligible or moving towards a promotion can be murky. Sometimes no clear, concrete goals are given to work towards depending on your manager. Also negotiate harder for pay if applying here, I negotiated timidly. At my annual review my manager told me I was underpaid and would work to remedy it. My pay has still not been adjusted. Some work expected to be done outside of the team you are on, but not always clear how to seek it out and how much it factors into your career progress. It's easy to slip into poor work/life balance depending on your team. I see team members working pretty long hours consistently. This leads to feeling like you have to try and keep up which is tiring. I feel like I take less time off with Unlimited PTO because there is pressure to keep up with things and keep moving things forward.

Pros

Technology driven Work/Life balance Ease of scheduling

Cons

Sales quotas for in store techs Management positions are very few In-store repair may suffer after T-Mobile merger with Sprint
