Pros

Fantastic work experience. You will learn how to think on your feet and be able to solve problems that most people would not be able to handle. You might get little to no help, but it makes you efficient... or you will fail. If you succeed, you can move up in the company quickly. You travel a lot, and will get to know your coworkers really fast, It’s probable the best part of the job. The benefits are really good

Cons

On-boarding is a long possess and you might not always get the help you need because it seems like there are not enough people to get the jobs done. The CEO throws a lot of tantrums in the middle of the office making the office an uncomfortable place to be. Turnover seems to be a red flag, many have left or were fired quickly leaving the remaining employees in an uncomfortable spot. Hopefully that changes. Work life balance is hard when you work weeks on the road and come home to be right back in the office. The hours add up and you will work around the clock to keep all your projects on track. Working on PTO is a norm and happens all the time.

Pros

Decent pay I would say

Cons

Unsustainable Workload & Non-Existent Work-Life Balance: "Heavy workloads and long hours are expected regularly" is an understatement. As a customer support employee, you're constantly fighting fires, often for a product that feels "under developed" or "requires a PhD to be used properly". I frequently worked late nights and weekends, with little to no break during "busy seasons" (which felt like all the time). The company seems to have a "churn and burn" mentality with employees, operating under the impression that we won't stay more than a year or two anyway. Lack of Management Support & High Turnover: There is no proper HR department to address employee concerns, and management is often described as "old-school and controlling". If you complain about being overwhelmed, you're likely to be "labeled as unable to handle the pressure and next in line for termination". The high turnover rate means you're constantly picking up the slack from those who have left, creating a vicious cycle of burnout. Poor Internal Communication & "Culture of Fear": Communication between departments is terrible, with "department silos" creating a "blame game" when things go wrong. The CEO's management style fosters a "culture of fear," with some employees even mentioning "micro-managing and mental abuse" as a day-to-day occurrence. This creates an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional office environment. Product Issues: Supporting a product that isn't fully tested or user-friendly is incredibly frustrating. We often had to rely on "crappy workarounds" to help clients, which made the support process much harder than it needed to be.
