***Some of these are getting nitpicky in the day to day operations side of things:
-3% match on 401K
-Remote/WFH can be lonely; even though there is an office messaging system - it isn't "active" in terms of socializing during the day, per se
-US specific: Dealing with customers who speak another language is a difficult process because not any in-house speakers, and the third party translation service is inconsistent in terms of being able to get in contact with them
-They say compensation is competitive for the industry and takes in to account cost of living, but it is def a struggle each month to pay bills. I keep a very modest lifestyle in one of the lower cost suburbs of DFW; an effect of COVID unemployment aftermath. I am having to choose each paycheck whether food/ gas/car payment/my Lemonade policy/cell phone get paid OR electricity/water/gas/internet/rent. Electric, rent, and internet are what I need to work, so it wins every time. All other day to day needs are an ongoing stressor and delicate balancing act. It is kind of embarrassing that I cannot consistently pay for the policy with the company that I am employee with - and no, I am not expecting a discount or similar; the premium is reasonable for what coverage I need. Cost of living in one of the hub office cities is def not so much equal to compensation. Benefits and high potential of growth is something that I hope is going to pay off in the long run...and it is the main reason I am sticking with Lemonade.
