Pros

Hybrid work but that is essentially over

Cons

Toxic work environment, service professionals expected to be available on the phones for back to back calls, 30+ calls a day. Cannot use the bathroom without asking. For this role specifically- they will sell you on upward mobility and opportunity but it is very rare that service professionals make it “off the phones.” There is no time for career development or any work life balance much less being able to do basic things like use the bathroom. They are not staffed correctly to handle the amount of calls they receive so you bear the brunt of that and deal with angry advisors all day, without a moment between calls. Additionally you are expected to do a ton of administrative work while taking these calls. Expected to return to office 3/5 days- with no compensation to match that increased gas mileage.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
