The company has plenty of talented and bright employees.

Cons

- The people in charge are selfish and incompetent, making poor decisions that leave employees to deal with the fallout. - Leadership has no real understanding of the work being done, yet imposes unreasonable demands and impossible goals. - The lack of insight and foresight creates constant frustration and a feeling that effort is wasted. - Hard work is overshadowed by careless decisions, leaving employees struggling to meet expectations that make no sense.

Pros

I really enjoyed the culture and benefits while working at Zola. Every member of the team made themselves available for questions and help. There was never a time where I felt I couldn’t ask a supervisor a manager or team member for something and they would be annoyed or leave me hanging. Everyone is really so helpful.

Cons

The SNI agents ( mostly remote workers from the Philippines) cherry picked which tickets they wanted to tend to sometimes they took to the more simpler tickets to keep their numbers up and reroute it the more intricate tickets back into the queue. Management was very good about calling this out when we complained about it and sent out several announcements request requesting that this and requested that everyone take responsibility for the tickets that are routed to them. Unfortunately, my contract was not renewed because the company employed bots for our roles. I felt that this was greedy and disingenuous, but I do understand that majority of companies are moving in this direction for entry-level position positions.
