Pros

The work (at least in my department) is very fulfilling, and I actually enjoy it. Lower management actually cared about those under them. Good employee resource groups (LGBTQIA one, women's one, multiple fitness ones, others). Really good 401k contribution match %. Free 24/7 gym for employees. Business casual dresscode. Location is right by the T and not too far from the highway. They also do lots of stuff for charity, if that's a thing you're into.

Cons

Very little upward mobility for Ops staff, despite what they tell you before you come onboard. Salaries are very low for the area, especially considering the importance of the work; it's almost like working for a charity. Departments (and even different teams in the same department) do not communicate with eachother effectively, if at all. Upper management will throw any and everyone under the bus - as others have said, if you're not in Sales they don't care in the slightest about you. Absolutely abysmal response to the current COVID-19 issues - didn't even send people home after someone at the company tested positive for it until five days after the fact. Benefits other than the 401k matching are not great. Parking lots are almost always full.

Pros

This position is a great opportunity for career growth, continuous learning, and advancement. The Access Team specifically is collaborative, supportive, and highly skilled, creating a positive environment where employees can feel learn, contribute, and succeed. While I may not see this as a long-term position for myself, it offers great opportunities to build experience, develop new skills, and create a strong foundation for future career growth.

Cons

Initially, the workload was manageable and aligned with the team's capacity. However, over time, the volume of work has increased significantly, making it challenging for our current understaffed team to sustain effectively. PLEASE HIRE MORE ACCESS REPS
