Pros

Niche areas of extraordinary operational excellence & innovation Tremendous business opportunity & growth, especially during positive economic times Amazing at mentoring, promoting, & training young professionals through leadership programs

Cons

Post IPO, the business truly stopped focusing on their customers, and company culture and values completely deteriorated. Very small # of top performers (2%) carry the workload for the vast majority. Woke labels were highly valued & promoted, but individuals were not. As a minority myself, I found this to be incredibly insulting to high performers of all races & genders. There was way too much tolerance for poor performance. I finally chose to leave after witnessing broad and ongoing ELT retaliation on dedicated, top performing middle managers, reps, & associates in multiple organizations who provided average to poor ratings on the supposedly anonymous "Great Places to Work" survey.

Pros

Great benefits, fully remote, my fellow employees are great to work with.

Cons

The systems constantly lag and freeze, making an already stressful job even harder. You’re expected to handle the work of multiple roles while meeting unrealistic metrics and learning countless procedures. Calls are often back-to-back, and the two-minute breaks during busy times aren’t enough to recharge. Dealing with verbally abusive customers is common, and you’re required to give multiple warnings before ending a call. While there are opportunities to move into other roles, promotions often feel more dependent on who you know than your actual skills or performance. Overall, it’s a mentally exhausting, high-stress environment.
