Pros
None. Not a single thing was pleasant about this job.
Cons
Where to start, management is inconsiderate, unreasonable and disrespectful. They have no idea what they are doing. They are not honest about their reports, reviews, or about promises they make to you. When management flat out does not tell the truth about something on your progress review and you go to HR your just given excuses told to appeal it then when you do get flat out ignored. When management writes you up about not notifying them you were late then you literally show them the proof your met with oh well the write up was already submitted. On top of this the upper management make decisions that triple your workload and make everything harder to get accomplished, it ends up angering the customers off as well but who cares they dont have to deal with it right? Upper management is also unbelievably disrespectful, the best one is they would send out emails almost by the hour when it was slammed saying could you take a call pretty please, as if we were sitting around twiddling our thumbs. You get these "coaching" ops sent to you thats not even reviewed by the manager that sent them so over half the time they are not a mistake you made or not a mistake that was made at all but when you call managers out on it they just make excuses. You also get leaders who reach out to your manager to give feedback yet cant seem to actually give one example of what was done, what was said, or what could be done differently but expect you to magically just know what to fix.

Pros
literally the only pro of this company was the coworkers.
Cons
management is not understanding constant changes no commission for basically a sales position micromanaged overworked with no pay increase Your entire day is basically watched like a hawk by your manager constant manager changes absolutely no growth from a field office, you start at a position and the only room for growth would be becoming a manager which is literally half a step up. Extremely heavy on the heart and management expects you to just brush it off and continue with your day with no form of help or relief. You’re basically listening to sob stories all day and you have to find ways to make these sob stories into ways for the company to bill someone for it without you helping the client at all.

Great pay and benefits with one of the best workplace facilities I've ever seen. Great management and co-workers that work with you and care about you. Some of the most caring people I've ever worked with.
Cons
The work is emotionally and mentally draining. Constantly taking calls from very distressed and depressed people takes a toll on you after doing it for +8 hours.

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experiences while at GreenPath. I am glad to hear that you feel that our benefits, pay, and facilities met your needs. I agree our leaders and employees are amazing and some of the most caring people that I've ever met. They truly care about both our clients and fellow employees. The work can be emotionally taxing, as every year we have hundreds of thousands of people calling us for help, and many times they are overwhelmed, scared, and not sure what to do. It can be tough to hear these stories over and over. We do everything we can to provide employees with avenues to learn techniques to have strong self-care as they provide support to our clients. We have an empathy coach on staff, we have a supportive management team that previously held client-facing roles that have an understanding of what employees are encountering during their calls, and we have a phenomenal Employee Assistance Program that provides free counseling to our employees. If you had ideas or suggestions, from your experience, on how we might make improvements for our employees, I would love the opportunity to speak with you. Sincerely, Julie Crichton Manager of Employee Experience jcrichton@greenpath.com

Pros
1) PTO. There's a generous amount of paid time off which makes for good work life balance. However, there may be a lot of date restrictions.
Cons
There metrics are unrealistic. We started with a team of about 8-10 employees in my office and by the time I was finally terminated from employment there were only 3 of us in Client Advocacy. Most others had either quit or had also been terminated. In order to meet their metrics I basically had to become a robot on the telephone, lacking empathy for the callers, and repeating the same words to every single client calling in. Honestly, if you're a client advocate all you do is transfer a call and by some odd reason this job made me think less of myself for not meeting there metrics. Keep in mind, I graduated with a communication studies degree and I felt I always provided clients with superior customer service. Yet, none of my skill sets actually mattered to them. Bottom line what they care about is how many calls you get transferred in the shortest amount of time. I was eager to start this role because I believed I would be able to help people but that is not your role in client advocacy. Additionally, they waited 1 year and a half to finally fire me because I was not meeting their metrics. You do not wait this long to tell someone they cannot get the job done. If after 6 months I was not meeting their metrics I would understand but why wait 1 year and a half to finally let me go. When we only had 3 employees the call volume was extremely draining. Overall, I can honestly say I wasted 1 year and a half here.

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experiences while working at GreenPath. I agree we are focused on providing our employees with time off to promote a strong work/life balance. Our Client Advocate role is the catalyst for our clients to ensure that they are being directed to the correct area that can best meet their immediate needs. They are oftentimes the first interaction and impression a client has, and our Client Advocates are tasked with connecting with each client and creating a foundation of trust that allows us to guide them through their journey towards financial wellness. This is not an easy feat and can be a demanding position. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your experiences while at GreenPath so that we might continue our focus on making this a phenomenal career for all of the team members. Sincerely, Julie Crichton Manager of Employee Experience

Pros
New CEO has made it better
Cons
The new CEO has made it better. Workforce management and HR are horrible. Management is so so. There is no real defined career path. You can't just transition from a credit counselor to the real world unless you are maybe lucky enough to get in as an entry level credit analyst at the bank but even then the skills you learned at Greenpath would be inadequate for a position like that. Those positions are very rare and hard to find though. Most people in the real world at interviews raise their eyebrows and say "so what exactly does a credit counselor do?" Customer service I admit has a little bit of real world transferability if you want to go to another mediocre call center job. Even if you get promoted to management, it is highly doubtful that you would get a job in management at another company. It just seemed like a waste of 5 years of my life. Thankfully I was able to get into an entry level job in a in demand field that has no relevance whatsoever to Greenpath threw my connections.
