Pros

Remote (for now) Competitive Compensation + Benefits

Cons

1. Senior Leaders operate like bullies and this has trickled down to a lot of the middle management. They claim they value upward feedback, but will retaliate against employees who share an opposing opinion. If you join, be prepared to be silenced, belittled, and given an unclear role scope ( a tactic to overwork, set unrealistic goals, and gaslight) 2. The lack of diversity across the company is very alarming. It doesn’t seem like Leadership cares much either since they primarily hire for “culture fit”

Pros

Good healthcare and good benefits.

Cons

Increasingly corporate culture Benefits slowly being rolled back every year Must use PTO for any holidays you want off as Ops agent/specialist Utter lack of leadership. Revolving door of managers because they refuse to promote internally for years Repetitive, dull work Toxic work culture. Very petty people in management who don’t accept anything but yes men Virtually no training established and hardly any SOPs written. What little there are of both are very poorly executed (aka people brand new to the work doing the training) No upward mobility whatsoever Arbitrary pay scales and performance reviews not necessarily aligned with performance or tenure. Disclaimer: experience entirely dependent on what team you’re on. Avoid T&R like the plague.
