Pros

Nice notebook and water bottle

Cons

- During the interview process, HR promised my team $3000 to $5000 in benefits but these were cancelled. No one was notified. - Every week is filled with 2-3 hours of required, and generally useless, meetings that have nothing to do with the actual job. - HR promised to be flexible on the number of hours worked as long as we get the work done, but then demanded that we track all 40 hours. (Micromanagement?) - Onboarding is largely irrelevant. (Trainer is actually quite good, but the content is irrelevant). - Way too many irrelevant emails. - Systems and processes change all the time and it's very confusing.

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.
