      Pros

      Ability to work remotely Great coworkers

      Cons

      Instability - consistent layoffs of people who are exceeding goals High pressure environment - excessive KPI’s, micromanagement, lack of direction Commission uncertainty - high performers are laid off before payoff, 55% of the team has made 0 commission for the past 6 months, paid off % to goal with % growth inconsistency Poor communication from leadership - goals are given once the quarter has already started, decisions made with little notice Time scrutiny - no hourly flexibility (expect to take PTO for appointments), 5 hours of your day are examined on a minute-by-minute basis Lack of career growth - hire management externally, no upward movement, layoffs tend to favor cost-cutting over talent retention Scrutiny - weekly meetings where management insult employees personally & professionally There’s a reason the stocks are down, and it has to do with poor management and a lack of vision. Very surprised this is a fortune 500 company.

      Pros

      Career growth through working with a team that is about success - clients and your own!

      Cons

      No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

      Pros

      A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

      Cons

      Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
