Pros

Benefits are good, better than other BPO companies that I have been.

Cons

Despite good employee benefits, salary is actually mid-range, and the workload is very much overwhelming. Pressure is too much. Especially when you work as support, you are inclined to work more than the usual hours of your shift (up to 12-15 hours a day) without OT Pay. There are managers who don't respect boundaries and don't really hold up the work-life balance that the company promises. Also, promotion is difficult and if promoted, your pay only gets aligned with your new role after 6 months. Meanwhile, you will only get a percentage of the higher salary but you will be doing the full workload of a regular in the new role.

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.
