Pros

They strictly higher young people, so if you are new to the area it is a great place to make friends.

Cons

Literally everything else. Zero autonomy, zero pay benefits, zero skills learned. People in power are disrespectful and prejudice to any non-dominant group. The amount of work requested of you is outrageous, with no breaks. You will get messaged if you are off the phones for one minute going to the bathroom asking why you are away from the desk. It is a call-center style job where you are simply a number to the company. I would not recommend to anyone who cares about their own mental health.

Not how they make it seem

Pros

Absentee manager means no micromanagement

Cons

Lazy manager so no mentoring or coaching. I don't even know where they are half the time. Metrics are unattainable. for example in order to make my quarterly quota I have to work cases that are supposed to be worked by higher level agents. Their processes are all over the place. Pay starts super low and really is not even a livable wage at 40k...they promise raises every 3 months in the interview but they don't mention it's bases on numbers that are not attainable You have to solve 30+ emails a day but their will be maybe 20 available for a staff of over 100 to grab. so how can you solve emails when there aren't any. A lot of ppl from my training class have left and I'm looking. The benefits aren't that great. Free healthcare is okay but most companies offer that. What about a mentor program. tuition reimbursement? Also their are no higher up manager that are POC so that says quite a bit right there

Pros

Well intentioned founders who laid the foundation to create a great company.

Cons

Many of the most senior leaders have failed to continue the great work of the co-founders. Scaled too quickly. Senior leadership is mistrusted and there has been especially high leadership turnover in sales, people and operations. Many Gusties who care and helped lay the foundation are less hopeful than ever before. And, the company came out with a "shared sacrifice" mantra due to Covid that is incongruent with the long-term mission and the wellbeing of most employees.
