Pros

I was able to use the experience I got from TaskUs to get a job that pays 51% better.

Cons

Everything. The company routinely lies to its employees. They guarantee things and then backtrack and gaslight you when questioned. Their “management” are people they picked up off the side of the road. They fake Glassdoor reviews (if you don’t believe me, filter by most recent and see how many glowing 5 star reviews they have on a daily basis from the Philippines…) I had hindsight advantage enough to know that my friends/family that worked here had stolen wages when attempting to quit. For those not in the know, if you try and leave TaskUs, they will send you an email/letter saying you have X amount of days to follow their demands or they will reduce your already terrible wage to minimum wage. I’ve met people who gave into these demands and got minimum wage anyways. My advice? Don’t give them two weeks noticed, just stop showing up because their NDA doesn’t let them disclose this to other jobs, and don’t return the equipment to them. Make them come pick it up. And don’t sign anything. Overall, TaskUs will go down as the worse company I’ve ever worked for, and I think it would be impossible to match. Ignore every 4-5 star reviews because they’re either outright fake, or exaggerated by the people TaskUs deems are “worthy” enough. Filter by the 1-3 stars and you’ll get more in-depth responses to what I’m saying here.

Pros

At the time I joined TaskUs, I had heard about all the growth this company had experienced and was excited to be a part of it. They had the growth they stated and have potential to keep adding and maintaining new lines of business if they can implement some much needed processes and resources. The frontline employees really do matter and have a voice.

Cons

The leadership and organization is extremely reactive when it comes to problem solving. They’ve gotten so used to “putting out fires” at The Grid, but senior leadership has no strategic long term planning capabilities. I can express my disappointment in my lack of onboarding, lack of support and lack of true development from my leadership team. “Do More With Less” can only go so far when your staff in different departments are drowning in tasks. They haven’t been able to maintain HR staff, IT staff, and any kind of leadership in operations. They’ve also lost several lines of business, and the execution of the delivery of news, to rehoming was so unorganized and (again) no strategy was in place. There have also been serious issues that have taken place on site and when brought up to upper management, was told “this is the BPO business “ and it was not given another thought. Several issues with parking lot safety for the staff. Constantly broken chairs and equipment. Coaching days are a joke and are for face value. It also really is about office politics and who you know- those that are well liked by management get favored. Health benefits were extremely expensive and not comprehensive. Internal reporting is constantly having system issues or inaccurate. They used to be about promoting from within, but those days are long gone. No work life balance - unlimited PTO is a pipe dream. Crowded noisy spaces, but not everyone can work in that environment.

Pros

They do offer some work from home campaigns which is really nice if that works best for your life right now/in general. You also meet some very nice people you wouldn't have interacted with otherwise. Equipment provided. The pto policy is pretty nice too.

Cons

No job security, no transparency or honesty from management, the clients of each campaign have the power to make your life living hell if they want and no one will stop them. No matter how valid or legitimate the complaint or concern, you're dismissed and gaslit. Somehow it's always your fault and something you can do better. But if you do well, you'll only be rewarded with more work for no extra pay. And if you have an issue that just impacts you management will not do anything about it unless you constantly nag them. It's fine for a transitional job, or for a chapter in your life. But I don't know a single truly happy employee. Stay as long as you need/can and look for better elsewhere.
