Pros

The pay is good because they know it has to be to keep anyone

Cons

Not closed on most holidays, expect to work. Never seen anything that more accurately describes toxic positivity. You might think you are being hired for "customer service" but you will actually be expected to: 1. Take on other reps work loads (even from other teams), 2. Read books and give reports 3. Create presentations about culture and perform them 4. Create and manage goals for yourself and the whole team, AKA your "team lead" isnt going to help you, just watch you squirm. 5. Be available to answer all of your teams questions (Even with 10+ chats waiting, 100+ emails to be answered, and calls in the queue). One thing you can depend on is they will always try to make work life harder for customer service reps. You can 100% be fired for "culture" which are things that are impossible to fight, just your Team Leads personal opinions of you. If you like living with repressed fear, this job is for you! There is no room for growth, it's a lie they feed you so they can tell you to "be a leader without the title". I can count the number of culturally diverse individuals I have come into contact with on one hand, none in management that I have seen. They let anyone be a Team Lead when they had too many customers to handle. They just promoted anyone with a pulse willing to drink the company kool-aide. I have never seen a more incapable Team Leader than the one I have had for 3 years now. They over hired two years ago and have been punishing us ever since.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. The customer solutions department was overstaffed due to automation efforts in the past year. Instead of doing layoffs we provided more opportunities for employees to invest in themselves, like doing trainings. Although volume is now increasing for our typical busy season, we are not near max capacity and remain below industry standards for expectations. WebstaurantStore employees come from a wide variety of backgrounds and we value people from all walks of life. We have made progress in terms of increasing the representation of underrepresented groups in leadership positions, but also understand that there is always room for improvement. We have incorporated diversity, equity, and inclusion into our training and we are constantly working towards creating a more inclusive environment. Employees are encouraged to share feedback with their manager, but an annual anonymous department survey is also available to share concerns. Skip-level meetings are offered so that employees can meet with their manager's manager to share feedback. Your feedback here has been shared with management for review.
