Pros

Amazing CEO, truly cares about employees more than profits.

Cons

Terrible middle management, poor oversight from VP level staff. HR is a joke, especially the HR managers. They really could care less about you as a person. Poor systems in place for career advancement. Unfortunately, the technology is severely lacking too. Pay was very low based on the number of direct reports I had. Big imbalance in pay from managers with direct reports and those without. They actually pay you more if you are an analyst without any direct reports.

I'm sorry that your overall experience with HR was poor, we definitely want our employee interactions with the HR team to be positive. We made pay grades available for all employees to view towards the end of 2014. We continue to regularly evaluate roles to ensure leveling is in line with both our overall compensation philosophy as well as competitive to ensure we are able to both attract and retain top talent. Thanks for your feedback!

Pros

Generous employee loan discount, hybrid work schedule, professional development opportunities, Fresh fruit is a nice touch.

Cons

Small desks and crowded to co-workers which creates distraction and difficulty at times to concentrate due to noise. Hotelling desk locations often "raided" of equipment. One day you'll get there and you're all set and the next time docking station of other equipment is gone.

Pros

Nice location, easy access, good D&I

Cons

I worked here for two years, the Pay scale was so low you had to work two jobs if you’re a single person. They have the customer service representatives doing sales, and then find ways to not give sales bonuses because your customer service levels aren’t high enough. I had worked in customer service for eight years and I’m still in customer service at another institution and never have I seen such ridiculous rules. If you have to send a request to another department and they call them back your first call resolution is crap. And remember this is a sales team so they pay you so little and work really hard to not give you a bonus. I talked to a Work coworker who stated that now they don’t get their quarterly bonuses because they have to be at 110% of First call resolution to get the quarterly sales. Bonus makes zero sense.
