Pros

Good benefits, decent amount of travel

Cons

Wildly toxic environment. Leadership disguises treating employees like dirt by phrasing it like “roll with the punches” and “typical startup pains”. There is nothing typical about shuffling/demoting employees once a quarter. Leadership here is AWFUL. And the high turnover is leading to a terrible client experience, so clients are pissed all of the time.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
