Pros

Great place to start learning professional customer service through multiple communication channels, tech support, basic project management depending which workflow queue you're hired to work in, and process improvement.

Cons

1. Management is focused on promoting "yes" employees and favortism. It is not based on the impact and contributions an employee has made. 2. Management is focused on holding back valuable employees in their role by finding reasons and paths that will convince the employee they may be promoted if they take the suggested route but a promotion never happens. Many strong contributors have left the company after several years for better opportunities that value them. 3. The team culture has become very toxic in the last few years. You cannot trust anyone as everyone is faking it to make it. Be cautious who you befriend here as there are excellent actors. 4. Facts versus opinions in feedback usually ends with opinions winning if you are not a "yes" employee or management's favorite. Beware that if you are good or excellent at your job, you pose as a threat to others who kiss a**. Expect some fake negative feedback from management during your1:1s and yearly reviews. 5. The current president of the US client services team is the only one who has shown professionalism. Everyone else down the chain is not trustworthy.

Pros

Working from home, but that is becoming the standard for these types of jobs. Not sure how much of a “pro” this can be considered.

Cons

The service leadership is abhorrent. It’s ruled with an iron fist of clueless nepotism where they value “yes people” over people actually carrying the workload and trying to exhibit real change into the work place. If you enjoy your boss not having a clue as to what you do day to day, while making 20k more than you, and have them ask you to make reports for them, you will love it here. The upper service leadership is where things get truly tragic. To put it lightly, all they care about is “bootlickers” and squeezing out every amount of effort until you are so burnt you leave. Promotions are all done behind closed doors and lead to inconsistencies in who get promoted. Those who are the “best” at the job seldom get promoted, but when asking “why” they have no good responses. It’s a game of favorites and “yes” people rather than a culture of elevating and developing the best people. There has been a massive “brain drain” of the best and brightest from Datasite service in the past 5 years, so if you are looking to join - best of luck - because there is no one to train you. Zero ability to move out of service. HR has service reps pigeonholed as not as bright as external candidates. Your best bet is “maybe” becoming a supervisor or trainer, but even then they would prefer to hire externally.
