Pros

Remote since COVID. Good insurance. My direct managers were excellent.

Cons

The pay was terrible. I was "promoted" in summer 2021 to a more advanced role, but my pay remained the same. It was supposed to be only for a few weeks, but they kept extending the assignment again and again for over a year. Eventually I was given the opportunity to apply to stay permanently on the job I was already doing. Somehow I didn't get it, despite the fact that I had already been doing the job (and doing it well) for nearly a year at that point. I wish I had left sooner.

Pros

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Cons

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
