LendUp Employee Reviews about "salary"

Pros

Catered lunch 3 times a week. The food is very hit or miss, there is either not enough food for everyone because the early lunch employees eat everything or there’s too much food and we all take some home. No cost healthcare including dental, vision and medical. No premiums, FSA plan, great coverage for in network. Very casual dress code, the VP wears shorts and flip flops all summer. I consistently wear leggings too work.

Cons

Management, there are few good managers but the majority write us off as fresh college graduates who know nothing. We aren’t treated well or care for - obvious from the recent lay offs. Salary isn’t even livable. I have a second job and I’m still struggling to make all my bills. Some people get bonuses and commission but it’s still not enough. At the end of the day it’s a call center, it will always be one.

Pros

- Salaries are finally somewhat competitive - Still (mostly) true to the mission

Cons

- Senior management does not appear to have a strategy or vision for the business; priorities have changed almost every quarter for the past 2 years - Nobody outside of the C-Suite has any insight into details about LendUp's equity (number of shares outstanding, valuation, ...) - Too many career levels and titles considering the company has < 100 employees

Pros

Great team environment. Great culture.

Cons

Very low salary. It is a call center at the end of the day.

Pros

I enjoy the fact that you can see the impact we are making... the testimonials and pictures on the walls at our company speak to me and inspire me to work hard. The challenges are worth it and are only going to make us smarter. Our teams had a volunteer event where employees worked on how we can improve our customer's lives and as I sat there, I wondered..; I'll bet Wells Fargo employees aren't working overtime wondering how to make me a more knowledgeable and effective consumer. Why not? We can make an impact and it's inspiring. I love it here.

Cons

Look, we're solving challenging white collar problems that are impacting people in a great way. Is it always easy? No. Is it always fun? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Am I learning each time I overcome a challenge we are dealing with? Absolutely. Have I had higher paying jobs? Yes, but I evaluate compensation a lot differently. It's not just about a base salary. It's about working out the brain so that muscle doesn't atrophy working in an enterprise environment. It's about getting the opportunity to make an impact on our customers by arming them with education, rewarding great habits and improving our customer's credit.
