Customer Service Representative

Does the Google project management certificate from Coursera actually help get a job or does it have a stigma of being "just a bs web cert" What the best source of low cost online certifications and endorsements that actually gets taken seriously?

    Pros

    Free food, new 401k has low fees Work From Home Wednesday Amazing individual contributors. They're some of the smartest, most caring people I've ever met. I'll miss them. Helping people change their lives with Coursera

    Cons

    No 401k match Management is ineffective, doesn't care about employees, unlimited vacation means no vacation if you actually produce results Paid 25% below market Management retaliates against employees, layoffs are chosen for random factors or grudges, promises promotions/raises and then doesn't follow through, high turnover in middle management and individual level due to higher level bullying
