Pros

Legit nothing other than 2 weeks PTO and one week sick time but that is pretty much standard now.

Cons

VERY low pay for the unrealistic work expectations they have. Terrible and costly “benefits”. The HR department socially engineers these ratings from new employees. Internal software rarely worked. Lack of upward mobility. High turnover, poor upper management, overall poor leadership. I used to leave here pouring in sweat because of how stressful it is. There is no way this company is a 4.5 / 5 star. Almost everyone there is miserable due to stress and workload. This company is chronically understaffed. When I was there they opened the most accounts in company history during a quarter and STILL refused to hire more help. But hey they have food trucks on site sometimes lol.

Pros

The paid time off is good

Cons

Works employees to death - tons of mandatory overtime required Management does not support employees Yearly bonuses were taken away for monthly bonuses just so the company doesn’t have to pay out bonuses. You cannot make a single mistake because they don’t believe in the fact that humans make mistakes. You will get written up and put on a PIP. No chance to move up in the company, they already have the people that they want and they will pick and choose who to put in what positions. STAY AWAY!
