Pros

None anymore. Used to be a chill and empathetic workplace where getting the job done and being a good human where the most important things

Cons

Actual sociopathic people in leadership. Cruel and abusive atmosphere. Metrics above everything even when it gets in the way of helping customers.

Pros

Great work culture and work life balance. The top leadership genuinely cares about the employees. They always seem to have the best intentions of the employees in their minds. The company is undergoing a digital transformation, and as such, has highly desirable projects to offer to the employees. The nature of the work is highly satisfying during most of the times.

Cons

Some technologies within the company might seem archaic, and therefore, if you end up working in it, it could become challenging to keep yourself motivated and continue to learn. The middle management could improve in people management.

Good company / Bad office

Pros

Weekly pay check Benefits are great The company overall is a great company. If you need sales experience this isn't a bad job. Just know it gets better after you leave.

Cons

In my office (BU), no one in leadership cares beyond themselves. They have little to no trust in the sales department. Encouraged to fudge activity numbers so they look good. I contacted HR 3 different times about the harassment of our sales manager to the sales team and didn't receive any response. That's when I had to leave. No communication between operations, billing and sales. Which makes the customer experience tough. Not open to new ideas. When our sales group present ways to improve communications they were shut down immediately. Constant garbage pick up misses and deliveries not on time make sales job hard. We receive charge backs when customers cancel even if its because our operations doesn't deliver a can or pick up. Things out of our control. Our office building itself is gross. Its dirty, old tech, ceiling caving in, broken chairs, no office supplies, no windows and awful smell. You are expected to work during vacations and other paid time off.
