Pros

Benefits and PTO was great.

Cons

Compared to competitors, pay is well below average. In the interview they always talk about how they want their employees to grow & move to other positions to better themselves, but that is very rare. The Account Associate position is looked as a joke to other departments and your opinions do not matter. Training is awful!

Pros

• Great pay to start then you have the opportunity once every year for a 0-5% raise based on work evaluations. • Provides free classes following the exams for different credentials you get to add to your “qualifications or abilities”. • Let’s you take a lot of different classes or trainings that aren’t technically required which allow you to learn new things just for your own knowledge that also provides opportunity for involvement with the company.

Cons

• Beyond mentally draining every single day which truly affects you physically if overlooked (many employees struggles with this there but no one speaks out about it) resulting in high stress daily, anxiety, and even worsened depression. You can’t help but to mentally take your work home with you which causes a blurred or nearly invisible line within the “work/life balance”. • Expectations are truly ridiculous yet going above and beyond doesn’t matter unless it’s how the higher ups & managers would handle each interaction. So essentially it’s like nothing you do is right and there is always something you could have done better or even different. • And due to the first 2 cons stated, it then results in constant fear of your job being on the line because of the unreasonable amount of stress and unrealistic expectations. Being a robot might not even satisfy them. • Opportunity to move up is definitely there and they love hiring from within the company which is a plus, however, due to this position being the lowest on the totem pole it’s not as easy to reach unless you know someone in that role, as they give it to many others above you if you are up against anyone else in a higher position even if on paper you are better. • You get to be involved in all company events they have except this role is singled out on numerous occasions (even though you are the face of the company) making you feel like you can’t truly be involved with the company and their activities. •You’re main purpose and duty is to be ready for incoming calls on the phones so all other things come last. You are basically scheduled to use the bathroom.
