Pros

The company is voted "Best Place to Work For" year after year.

Cons

1. I was laid off 3 weeks after I started my maternity leave. The reason, as put forth by my manager, was that a business decision was made to eliminate my role. What I learned from this experience is that, while it is illegal to lay off someone because of pregnancy or maternity leave, the employer can circumvent this by eliminating the position so the employee would have no job to return to. Needless to say, it was challenging taking care of a newborn and job searching at the same time. 2. Too much time and energy was devoted to making the product look pretty without releasing new features that actually address real user problems.

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
