Pros

- provide food for employees - a lot of different schedules - can be room for advancement - easy for the pay

Cons

It's like a typical call center environment, honestly. It feels like high school. What probably bothers me the most is that the OM's aren't really willing to work with you regarding personal issues. And that also shows a lot of the favoritism. Certain people don't get points documented for whatever reason. Some can get whatever they want just by asking, others are pretty much told "too bad". Once you get a schedule, you are stuck no matter what unless you can find someone to trade with you and if you have an ugly schedule then good luck trying to get a better one. They usually will say things are "coming" and months later there's no change. There's people who come to work sick because there's no sick time and they can't afford to get any points. Management is never on the same page and they never take ownership. You can get in trouble based on 'word of mouth' whether it's true or not. While there can be room for advancement, there's not much at all. Parking is terrible. I'm pretty sure I'm missing some stuff but these are the main issues. I'm sure the grid is doing great.

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.
