Pros

- Remote work - Flex shifts

Cons

- Management does not "have our backs" it seems like they take every opportunity to cater to other departments rather than support our own. - Excessive workload - Almost 8 months straight of having required overtime on every other Saturday - As HR does, they do not care about their employees or employee interests, just about looking good to shareholders. - Exceptional Performance gets you nowhere. No higher wages than an under-performing colleague that gets the same promotion and pay raise simply because they have been there long enough. - Constantly having to fix others mistakes. - The job is "Technical Support" yet we spend the majority of our time teaching others how to do their job. It's more of a Learning & Development role than actual troubleshooting. - Benefits are there, but they are by no means good for the area. - They preach Culture/Values but rarely does the company actually practice them. Same with the "Work/Life" that is preached. They want us to be in "a good mental place" then require overtime when we get a little busy instead of hiring competent people for the department and making sure we have our staffing needs met.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pros

The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

Cons

The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
