Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- 3.0Jun 8, 2010Business AnalystCurrent Employee
Pros
Great place for work life balance. Flexible work schedules and ability to work from home allows employees to be able to have balance in their life. From day 1, employees are given responsibilities and ownership of their own work. Strong teamwork environment. Employees are looking to support each other, very few people are cutthroat, though politics does still exist.
Cons
Many managers do not have the experience to be great people managers. This is due to a lack of experience in workplace in general (for some fast promotions). Promotions seems to tie to groups that one works for. In addition, promotion criteria differs from group to group making it difficult for those who change groups internally to be promoted. Feedback system could use some work. There should be more communication between managers and their employees.

Pros
Fun atmosphere to work. Casual dress code and great vacation benefits.
Cons
Call Center leadership is expected to be 'present' with their team during work hours but this leaves very little time to complete other obligations like monitoring calls thus most managers have to complete tasks at home on their own time. 'Work/Life balance' is sometimes minimal depending on the time of year and what reports are due.
