Pros

I enjoy working with fantastic colleagues at this incredible startup that has really captured the zeitgeist. Hearing customer stories regularly is truly inspiring—it reminds us who we serve and the positive impact we have. It's incredibly rewarding to help small business owners achieve their dreams. The company's strong emphasis on value-driven work resonates deeply with me, aligning perfectly with my personal values. We're all encouraged to uphold these principles in everything we do.

Cons

The company needs more resourcing to match its ambitions.

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.
