Pros

There are some good people in the warehouse and long term call center employees. BDA taught me a A LOT about what I DON'T want in a company.

Cons

Pay is considerably less than industry standard. By considerably I of course mean laughable. You will be expected to work absolutely absurd hours. You will be expected to take business on your planned and approved vacation. Your workload will be unmanageable at best. You will be verbally abused by co-workers. Directors and Executives will over promise and under deliver. When initiatives fail, expect to be thrown under the bus. When things go right the Executives and Directors bump chests and take a shot, little or no recognition to those who actually carried the project.

Pros

- Decent base salary if this is your first job out of University. - Free Swag - WFH Fridays - Smart and helpful colleagues

Cons

- Incredibly stressful, do NOT take this job if you do not have a high stress tolerance. - A ton of competing priorities that almost always require quick/immediate action. - You get a ton of emails and are expected to be able to pull up and reference any of them at a moments notice. - Constant whiplash between doing deep, focused work (presentation/catalogs) that have a ton of details and require your full attention versus quick/rapid fire tasks that you must address immediately. There were days where I was working on one presentation all day and couldn't get it done because of how much I was getting pinged to resolve other issues. - To get promoted you must essentially do the job of 2 people (CSC and PSA). Beyond that, there is no real career progression unless you want to go into sales. - Management always says to raise your hand if you need help. But when you ask for help, there is always pushback in the form of others having more task hours than you. - CEO took away one of the WFH days. When Qualtrics had negative feedback he essentially said "If you don't like it - then leave". He is a "Do as I say, not as I do." type of leader. - Workload and responsibilities are not commiserate to the salary.
