fun atmosphere but overworked

Customer service coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

great people, love the atmosphere and all the clients/accounts they work with. They have very fun activities and events, feels to make up for the lack of compensation otherwise

Cons

very overworked with low pay. Hard to measure success individually on the coordinator level and fairly in comparison across departments but raises & bonuses were dependent on team metrics, nearly impossible to achieve with high amount of orders/expectations and little to none of those details were in our control.
