Pros

People and Flexibility work policy (unlimited PTOs are a shame though) Tuition Reimbursements

Cons

I am absolutely disgusted with the way this company runs. They are sitting on legacy B2B contracts and think they are a technology company, but they can't even roll out a simple feature in four years. They don't know how to run a shared services company, and the business units are constantly backstabbing each other and not aligned. There is no upward movement, and the leadership is severely incompetent. I have never worked for a company so disorganized and dysfunctional. It's like they're living in the past, and they have no idea how to compete in the modern world. The technology is outdated, the processes are inefficient, and the people are miserable. If you're looking for a company that is innovative, forward-thinking, and values its employees, this is not the place for you. This company is a dinosaur, and it's only a matter of time before it gets extinct. Here are some specific examples of the company's incompetence: We recently launched a new product, but it was riddled with bugs and glitches. It took us months to fix them, and we lost a lot of customers in the process. The company is constantly restructuring, but it never seems to make things any better. In fact, it usually makes things worse. The management team is completely out of touch with the employees. They don't listen to our feedback, and they don't care about our well-being. The company doesn't invest in its employees. There are no opportunities for training or development. The company culture is toxic. Everyone is backstabbing each other, and there is no sense of teamwork. I would never recommend this company to anyone. It's a complete and utter disaster.

Pros

This company has a great 401k plan and a good amount of PTO that you get each year

Cons

The company lacks compassion in their standards for both members and employees. Significant changes are made without out proper notice given and representatives are expected to adhere to those changes without warning. While this is a great company in terms of benefits and pay the stress around the ever changing criteria and lack of communication is a lot to undertake.
