Pros

Good company, good place to work and lots of perks. Company seems to have a clear direction where it is headed

Cons

Unfortunately I was promised a change in pay after 6 months. I was just told I did qualify for the increase this coming 3rd quarter. It is very deflating and feels very demoralizing. Not sure I made the right choice with this company. Don't think I would recommend it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a candid review of your SoFi experience so far. We are glad to hear you're enjoying the culture and some of the benefits we offer employees. That said, your comments around being promised compensation does not sound in line with our expectations for the hiring or promotion process, so we'd like to continue this conversation. Q3 wage changes don’t go into effect until August 23, 2021 and managers are having these discussions with their teams between August 9th - 20th. If you have not yet had this conversation with your manager, we suggest you do so. If you would like to continue this conversation with your PBP, please reach out to him or her directly, or email us at glassdoor@sofi.org and we can help set it up. Thank you again for your feedback!

Pros

You are only required to work from the office 1 day of the week and the rest from home. The Benefit package is great. The company has free snacks, fruits and drinks at the office and it provides the employees with lunch at least once a month while at the office.

Cons

You are literately a modern day slave with low pay and a tone of work. After a few months you have to get upskilled (more work) without any additional compensation. You are constantly evaluated: First call resolution is huge, the goal is for the member not to have to call back in at least a week. The company wants the call to last less than 5 minutes (or you get dinged). The company wants the members to respond to the surveys and if they don't it counts against you. if you go on chats, you will have to serve maneuver between two different once at the same time. You ONLY get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It is difficult to go to the restroom because while on the phones there is NO actual bathroom disposition and so you will get dinged and if it takes you longer than 5 minutes you get a message from intrudium informing you that you are out of adherence. The technology is the worse I have ever had to work with. It uses a program called Zscaler that is constantly disconnecting and when it does, it interrupts all of the other programs that are required to work with, in which case you have to inform WFM that you are having tech issues either by telephone or by sending a Workflow and hope it gets approved. While in training you are informed that you will only get paid up to 1 hr while having a tech issue. Workflows are huge and used for everything, including if you are suppose to clock out for the day but you are still on a call and it makes you go over 5 minutes (or you get dinged). Putting in for PTO or Sick Time is also not easy either, it's all about the companies needs so, hopefully you will get approved or maybe not. H.R. is only there a bit while you are hired and of course if you are let go but other than that, not sure what they do because there is no real connection.
