Cons

Beware of clearly fake glowing reviews. Company only cares about money. They create unrealistic goals and grind you down. You have to work as fast as you can constantly. Most of the work is automated so you're mindlessly performing routine tasks. Pay is lower than most in the industry with promise of year end goals. They do this to not have to pay what you deserve and when you quit, you're out the difference since the last year's end. They don't care about quality work. Just crank it out for daddy. And if you miss your weekly goal they'll make you feel worthless, like you're underperforming. I just have a hard time not doing quality work and producing just to hit numbers. STAY AWAY!

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
