Pros

Good communication with the TLs and teammates. Achievable targets. Work from home (until now).

Cons

Intransparent HR managed from overseas: They make a lot of crucial decisions for the teammates through their anonymity. Not even the TLs are aware of these decisions. Lots of mistakes by Payroll: When you urge them to be more careful and warn them about taking legal action, they just withdraw your right to work overtime. Moreover, there is excessive gatekeeping on their internal platform when a worker needs to raise an issue; it is troublesome to upload the required documents because they are sent to personal emails, and access to personal email through the work PC is forbidden. Pressure to make remote workers hand over their resignation: This happens after a project starts being transferred to the office. They tell many workers their contracts will be terminated in the near future, just not when. When I asked for a specific timeframe, HR wrote an anonymous email telling me that I could initiate the termination process myself. Gradual dismantling: They gradually dismantled all the aspects that made it a good project to work for: the team meetings, and the flexibility to work any 8 hours during the day or afternoon when we had chores to do.

Pros

The Frontline First culture is unlike any other organization I have worked for. I feel like the CEO and other CSuite leaders are transparent and approachable. Solid leaders who clearly understand the needs of employees.

Cons

Like all companies there are opportunities to improve, so nothing really worth mentioning.

Pros

Loved the LXL management chain. Supportive, fun, progress-minded. The company as a whole was okay, but the department I was with made it amazing. Lots of opportunities to develop skills. Absolutely incredible visibility for diversity, which is celebrated and respected without hesitation.

Cons

Very high demand. Can be very challenging to learn how to balance work and breathing room without falling behind. Many other departments were quick to blame the LXL department in front of highly regarded stakeholders for failures that were not of our own. Pay also changes depending on the client you work with. My client was the highest paying client at the time I was employed. The LXLs working for the branch-off of work from my client were paid much more than I due to the intensity of the work. My pay was considered the cap for where I was, and getting a raise that was not just a few pennies was not going to happen. Moving up is possible but limited. Due to this company being a BPO, if the client no longer needs our work, we are liable to be laid off. Employees are not contracted, but TaskUs is contracted to the client. Layoffs are a possibility, be it near or far. I was laid off after 4 years and saw many waves of many sizes laid off while there.
