Pros

Free lunch which is late or stolen by another underpaid , overworked employee

Cons

- there are 25+ managers employed at this office, maybe 2 or 3 you would consider "good" and those are on night shift. - call center job.. self explanatory ( often work through break, never stand up, headsets are particularly bad ) - HUGE turnover (the week I left there were 3 others. Including an employee who had been there for over 10 years, fired in a heartbeat.) - in the year I was there, i counted well over 10 emails saying who had quit / been fired. 2 of our 10 trainees walked out mid way through training . (literally walked out) - trainers are hideously prepared and the content is exceptionally dry. They don't seem to care much. - you will constantly be pryed at by group managers to accept additional duties. ( including training yourself between calls, working late, weekends, from home , to route calls for other busy engineers because of the huge understanding issues. ) - free lunch seems to be sucking people in .. I assure you this arrives cold and is heavily fried/greasy. If you are on night the food sits for up to 6 hrs at room temperature before you arrive. - they will tell you that you can be moved off the night shift within a few months, this will likely not happen for years, while new hires take the day shift positions. - they never back up the engineer should a conflict arise, and if you defend yourself in the slightest you stand to be terminated. - you will be relentlessly frustrated to the point of giving up every single day of your life. And management will keeep coming - unless you are severely overweight or unable to move/ show and type of natural human spirit, I urge you to find a healthier job.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
