Pros
My group in PayPal is hands down the best people I have worked with over my career. They own problems, even if it may not be their responsibility, and just get things done.
Cons
Products don't always work well together, and lack of communication outside individual groups.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at PayPal full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
PTO, benefits, cool teammates, cant think of a 5th word for this section.
Cons
lack of respect, false promises, extreme favoritism, fake personalities. They were good before but literally removed all the people who made it a great place to work.
Advice to Management
Do the opposite of what you are doing. When an idea comes up, just do the opposite and everything will be good once again. Stop bringing in buddies from AMEX and giving them immediate promotions when there is a bunch of qualified people there.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at PayPal full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
If you are on a good cycle team; you "might" get incentives every month!
Free coffee, tea & soda/soda water
Education is available
Benefits are good
Free parking
Unlimited OT!!Cons
You can wind up on a terrible cycle and never earn any incentives
You are never treated fairly; and you will never get an explanation why that is
Compliance rules your life & you can lose your incentive over one incorrect word
Very difficult to move within the company- once in collectionsAdvice to Management
Treat your employees who work hard better!
Incentives have never been fair- they are not based on apples to apples rather. Apples to oranges
Give real answers!!
Help your employees succeed - don't just tell them you want to!PayPal 2017-07-19 18:22 PDT![PayPal Logo]()

Pros
The pros are basically only the benefits and that it would look good on your resume.
Cons
Strict rules that are not employee friendly. I've been there 3 years and it's starting to feel strangling, like they just want to pay someone new so they don't have to spend much money. They seem to be having a hard time keeping their employees happy.

Pros
I loved the people on my from start to finish. I found coaches who were willing to develop me, and I stuck by them. I was bummed to leave PayPal for the relationships I had built and the skills I had gained from my mentors
Cons
So much of employee engagement, happiness, and consistency depended on what team you were on. As an agent who began on the phones, I and others were constantly switched from team lead to team lead. Some were better than others, and a few were down right awful. There was very little consistency and as I moved up in my career, that didn't change.
As a facilitator I felt much more apart of my team, but many trainers were overworked, didn't know their schedules most of the time until last minute, and didn't have any effective facilitation guidelines to be held accountable for. Everyone trained in their own style.Advice to Management
Only reorganize when it's necessary, promote consistency, actively listen to your direct reports, and give the trainers SOME sort of structure for their training.
