Pros

peers from orientation/training were INCREDIBLE remote work

Cons

extremely difficult onboarding careless management i just about had an anxiety attack every shift (definitely cried every shift) because onboarding was too quick and i had no confidence in what i was doing. the job is to be tech support for security devices for the dealers installing them. the "training" is being on the phone with REAL clients who, at this point, know the product better than you and are wanting real-time support. you're literally stuck trying to solve a problem you don't know the solution to while a coach is listening to your call and watching your computer screen LIVE. literally the worst experience ever. a lot of the dealers get frustrated and want to be transferred to someone else and some of them even refuse to speak to women because they'd rather talk to a man who "knows more".

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
