Pros

-Management -Benefits -HR department -Training class allows you to get to know product well -Training class included all departments within one group -CEO,CFO, etc all speak to you as a training class when you're hired (Amazing) -Friendly enviroment for the most part

Cons

-Training class does not prepare you for anything other than the product (you won't know how to navigate customer accounts, policy on escalation, etc) -Seemed to have cliques -Call Center (They try to get you to understand this before hire, but do not refer to it as a call center position) -Most people seem to be very helpful, however, there are individuals who act as if they are inconvenienced. This is likely due to turnover rate for the support department. -The entire department is well aware of the turnover rate. Current employees will discuss how often people leave as soon as you start. This makes it difficult as a noob. -Bathroom breaks (not within 2 fifteen minute breaks or lunch period) have a 10-minute allotment- it is frowned upon to use this consistently and can lead to punishment -Policy on attendance is very strict. This is the reason most people get terminated. -Starting pay at 15 doesn't seem worth it- the ramping period is a good idea but implemented poorly.

Great company, getting better

Pros

It's been a great company, but saw some rockier times. Since Brent's arrival as CEO our strategy has been clear and we have executed on that better than in years past. It's a great place full of talented, hard-working people that push you every day.

Cons

Though better than it used to be, there needs to be a focus on execution, with people held accountable to failing to do so or doing so in a way not befitting our values. This is particularly needed in the Product and Sales organizations (though, again, it's getting better). Work-life balance can be tough, and we work very hard (a pro and a con).
