Pros

Pets are allowed in the office

Cons

Pay is LOW. The service department is a revolving door, always understaffed and filled with employees who have no idea what they’re doing. It’s a crappy job, but better pay would make employees more likely to stay. There’s no way to live in the area by yourself on the low salary they give. The managers are useless. It’s one of those situations where none of the supervisors understand how things are done, and if you were to have them try to do your job for a day, they wouldn’t be able to. If you ask 3 different supervisors the same question, you’ll get 3 different answers. Communication is nonexistent; no one found out company procedures and policies were changing until at least a week after the fact. They don’t care about the employees at all, except for the handful who have been there longer than a year. They once actually tried to tell me I would have to work instead of going to a funeral (you only get bereavement days off for immediate family). Benefits, like the pay, are terrible. No sick days. If you call out, they make you use your PTO, even if you offer to make up the hours another day. One call out and you’re ineligible for the monthly bonus (which got smaller and harder to reach every month anyway). The new CEO is a joke. He’s only trying to put as much money in his own pocket as possible. They occasionally had “town halls” for the employees to share their opinions, but we only got canned answers and “we’ll keep that in mind.” Upper management is 99% white middle-aged men, and things remain incredibly inefficient because “this is the way we’ve always done it.” They don’t bother listening to the employees who use their systems and field complaints from customers all day long- that would make too much sense.

Pros

lots of fun, awesome people, bring your pets to work. if you're in the right department the supervisors will be great and really supportive. casual environment where you can dress comfortably. on your birthday you get a gift card, which is really cool. that will probably stop as we grow larger though.

Cons

the company cuts a lot of corners that makes the jobs of lower level employees who deal directly with customers/claims very difficult. so many mistakes are made because the systems don't work, there's no accountability for anyone, and we run off of spreadsheets. the priorities here are weird. they say customers are the focus but there's little to no communication between departments and it results in an inconsistent customer experience. stop paying thousands of dollars a month in food and dog shaped paper clips and give people little raises. they would rather have things 'look pretty' than make employees happy. employees brought in from the outside (usually for higher positions) seem to be paid much higher than people promoted from within because most starting salaries are extremely low to begin with so pay % increases for promotions can't compete. typical 'get your experience and get out' deal. HR doesn't explain this to people though and they're hired with false expectations of career advancement. This leads to employees being unhappy in the long run. news flash: for anything above basic positions the company is more interested in hiring from the outside right now. no clear advancement paths. little room to grow. pay grades for positions are random and made up. HR stuff seem like a nightmare. if you make a complaint/have an issue you're probably out of luck. they're probably just overworked and underpaid like the rest of us.
