Pros

The friends you make. Free lunches.

Cons

When you're being recruited, its standard practice to take what the recruiters and employees say with a grain of salt. But the inconsistencies are too glaringly obvious. From the promise to promotion in 3-6 months, to never having a team not hit quota, to the CONSTANT changes in metrics. Management plays favorites, and promotes quickly for business need, while leaving high achievers in the dust. The sales floor is quite and filled with crushed optimism. The direct managers care and work hard for their teams, but it seems like there is a large disconnect between managers and directors+. I would STEER CLEAR of joining this org. P.S. all of the 5 star reviews are made while people are at bootcamp, less than 1 month into their tenure

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.
