Pros

Work from home and medical benefits

Cons

This place is super toxic. We are severely underpaid and the amount of micromanaging that happens here is beyond compare. Also, I feel like upper management needs to re-take their own DEI training and disclose to interviewers that all work hours will be both mountain time but also your own time zone. What I mean is, all meetings are scheduled in MST. So if you’re in the EST no big deal, you’ve probably been working an hour or 2 prior. But if you’re in PST, you’re expected to be in a meeting at 7 or 7:30am and be checking your Slack for updates prior to that. But also being in PST means they still expect you to work until 5 or 6pm. But breaks are basically not allowed because if others on your team are making dials and you’re in a smaller number of dials you immediately get slacked saying that it’s “already “x” time and you’re only at “x” amount of dials”. The people saying they promote work/life balance must have come from terrible places or are not in sales
