Pros

Coffee machine, lots of swag, pay, free snacks

Cons

They do not offer adequate training to their employees. The workload is insane and you have to work OT just to keep up. There is no time to continue to train you on what you really need to know once you are out there so clients get upset with you. You are on hold with clients trying to help them looking for someone to help you. You also have to answer emails that are sent to you but only have one hour to do that a day. Micromanaged down to the minute-you only get 5 minutes a day to go to the bathroom and have to work through your lunch and break so you do not get behind and in trouble for letting emails get behind. They send you trainings on how not to be stressed but there is no time to watch them!!!!

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. We’re happy to share that we have recently revamped our new hire training for employees to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for all. We encourage our AM’s to partner with their leaders if ever feeling overwhelmed so that help or guidance can be provided. During training, AM’s are also introduced to resources to leverage after training such as zoom hotlines/leadership lines for questions, PEAK, and mentors. We also strongly encourage employees to speak to their manager about unwanted overtime as well as encourage employees to use their PTO to rest and recharge.

Pros

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

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Teammate relationships during difficult days.

Cons

Paying out executive bonuses and Sr leaders while mid-level and lower employees had their bonus removed and their stock options taken away. This company is the epitome of making the rich richer while allowing the employees who are busting their bottoms to drown without monetary compensation. It was heartbreaking for me to see my team unable to receive any bonus monies while our executives received millions even though the decision they made resulted in the stock price dropping by over $100.
