Pros

-Interesting industry to join -Professional growth potential, good experience -Unlimited PTO (actually unlimited and encouraged to use it) -Remote/hybrid flexibility -Excellent benefits (high 401k match and employer insurance contribution) -Good pay (however, commission-slashing in last 8 months has severely hurt income potential at this company; only marginal raises at 1yr mark) -Everyone had their own style of completing the job which added learning opportunities -Diverse and welcoming coworkers who I will be staying in touch with after I leave

Cons

-Hard to get time with management -Very little transparency from upper management -Frequent systemic changes to commission, operations, and other processes making it hard to consistently understand priorities and goals -Inconsistent commission structures (they changed it every quarter and didn’t tell us the new guidelines until halfway through each quarter. No employee facing tracking mechanism meant we had to trust their calculations and/or take excellent notes -Industry challenges and regulation-motivated changes constantly made the job more difficult

Pros

Sadly, none at the moment

Cons

Leadership & Culture: Leadership lacks alignment, which creates confusion around priorities and expectations. Frequent shifts in strategy without clear communication. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than thoughtful or data-driven. Insecurity at the top trickles down and impacts morale. Culture struggles with transparency and trust. Communication & Structure: Cross-department communication is inconsistent and can be siloed. Feedback is not always welcomed, even when intended to help the business. Important information doesn’t flow smoothly, causing repeated misunderstandings. Teams are sometimes blamed for issues caused by unclear direction. Workload & Expectations: Workload can be heavy due to constant pivots and shifting SLAs. Goals and KPIs change frequently, which makes it difficult to measure success. Lack of standardization across processes leads to inefficiency. Limited support given for new initiatives despite high expectations. Career Growth & Support: Career development is inconsistent and not always based on performance. Leadership changes can stall or reverse career progress. Recognition largely depends on which department you sit in or who your direct leader is. Onboarding for internal roles and promotions lacks structure. General Environment: Internal morale can be low due to uncertainty and inconsistent communication. Changes happen quickly, often without sufficient explanation or resources. Teams are spread thin, making collaboration challenging. Employee concerns are acknowledged but not meaningfully addressed.
