Pros

My manager does seem to have a framework to help me develop in my role. I have opportunities to present ideas, and dedicate some time to POC work. Remote work has been consistent, apparently it has been the norm since pre-pandemic. The culture encourages collaboration and recognition which makes it a comfortable experience to work as a team even beyond my immediate unit.

Cons

Many employees have been affected by layoffs in the past few years, often with little warning as has been a trend in industry. It has had a negative effect on company culture, and personally makes me uneasy about future job security.

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.
