Pros

Employee discount, flexible schedule, and fun co-workers

Cons

Sleazy advice from managers about how to trick people into signing up for credit cards. If you didn't hit your quota for the day, you had to role-play with management about better ways to increase your sign-ups. I was once told to just start the credit card application without asking because people are less likely to say no if you're already in the middle of the process.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
