Pros

Amazing benefits, culture is great, the business is thriving.

Cons

There is no investment in growing current employees. Internal advancement is basically non existent. They would prefer to hire externally than to truly promote internal mobility. They quietly lay off employees using the excuse "due to restructure" and then turn around and post new openings on the team on LinkedIn with very little difference in the job description but level up the position. Instead of investing in current employees growth to set you up to promote (level up) they just lay you off and hire someone new with no regard to the years of knowledge and dedication you have given the company. They do this quietly and most of the company doesn't even know it has happened.

Pros

Strong culture, leadership really encourages feedback and listens/acts. I feel very supported by my manager and loyal to the company and the mission

Cons

Whatnot is all-consuming sometimes, but none of the work feels like a waste of time like at other companies

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.
