Pros

They have $3 catered lunches, a popcorn machine, no dress code, free bagels on Friday’s. My job duties were repetitive but straightforward. I also worked with several sincerely, genuine people during my time of employment.

Cons

LendingTree is well-known for its laid-back, stress free work environment. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case for its outbound team at the contact center department. Many changes have been implemented in a very short period of time since the previous senior manager and supervisor were promoted. This includes changes in management (i.e. senior manager and immediate supervisors), inconsistency in following new policies and call procedures, but most importantly the company culture. Tensions are high. Morale is low. Performance Improvement Plans(PIP) are delivered to multiple agents for reasons which appear to be subjective. A company or even a single department experiencing growing pains is understandable, but it seems like this tolerance for unethical behavior will persist. Although the company itself is considered successful (LendingTree stock is soaring). The future of the contact center (outbound team) remains uncertain.

Pros

LendingTree has a strong culture that is incredibly welcoming, since the start I have felt right at home. The company places an emphasis on autonomy, giving you the chance to explore ways to make a difference. You are encouraged to work however works best for you, with flexible hours and unlimited PTO, work-life balance is great.

Cons

The business itself is very complex and constantly evolving, and while that does keep things interesting you can feel lost. The segments of the business are all very unique making collaboration imperative, so at times competing priorities can cause delays and hold progress.
