Pros

They provide robust and well-designed training.

Cons

The current leadership support system for CSR (Customer Service Representatives) is lacking, and it tends to be more reactive than proactive. This approach results in subpar customer service quality. In my experience, particularly within the client account I am assigned to, leadership makes it extremely challenging to deliver excellent customer service to both employees and retirees of our clients. When CSR representatives utilize the designated team chat to advocate for the caller or reiterate their questions, they often face criticism and belittlement from their supervisors, often in front of their colleagues. On some occasions, the communication takes an aggressive tone, with supervisors resorting to writing in all capital letters. The prevailing attitude within the leadership is one that views and treats all employees as if they are incompetent. There is a lack of consistency in expectations. One day, we are told to think independently, but the next day, we are instructed not to perform certain tasks without seeking prior approval through the chat system. Unfortunately, this inconsistency and the negative atmosphere have led to situations where customers' needs are either not met or are unnecessarily delayed due to leadership's approach.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
