Pros

You feel like you are changing the world, constantly in the loop with the company as a whole, and the benefits are great.

Cons

At the support center in Phoenix, the leadership there was absolutely terrible. There have been many reports of micro-aggressions towards people of color when they flag issues, even up to the director. I have directly heard of instances in which latino men/women have been labeled as "aggressive" or "rude" for simply providing feedback. Just look at the amount of turnover this place experiences. There are so many stories to tell - even down to the fact that they made us work in a building that was actively getting demolished/remodeled. We were walking around construction/paint dust for months. They truly do not care about us, and we felt that lack of concern. It took us three years to change the pay for reps, and even then we faced resistance at every turn. Unfortunately, the amazing-ness of the product and culture in the San Francisco offices is not enough to make you feel valued when everything is so much worse at the Phoenix locations. If you want proof, don't look at this review, just ask them about their absolutely horrid NPS survey scores. They made it a mission to remove any of their managers with "human-first" tendencies, and as a result their culture is absolutely toxic. I blame incompetence at the senior management/director level.

Pros

If you are considering working with this platform, be aware that the management model is built on deliberate ambiguity. The app and software are designed to keep you in a constant state of uncertainty regarding your performance metrics. There is no transparency regarding how jobs are assigned or how your work is actually evaluated. This appears to be a calculated strategy to keep workers chasing 'better status' without ever providing a clear path to achieve it. You will never know if you are truly meeting expectations because the system is intentionally opaque. Approach with caution if you value transparency and clear communication.

Cons

The supposed 'flexibility' of this role is actually a double-edged sword. While the platform advertises freedom, it functions as a lack of structure and support. Because the performance metrics are intentionally opaque, the 'independence' of the job feels more like isolation. You are left guessing if your efforts are actually valued or just another input in an algorithm that doesn't prioritize worker success.
