Thriving in My First 90 Days: A Supportive Team and Meaningful Contributions

Customer success manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Supportive Team Environment: My manager and teammates have been incredibly helpful and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and feel confident in my role. -Early Recognition: Winning the September Spiff for highest Closed CTAs was a proud moment, especially being new to the role. -Process Improvements: I’ve been able to contribute ideas like using MS Bookings for scheduling and introducing Mail Merge in Outlook, which have helped streamline our workflow. -Engaging Work: I enjoy the balance of customer-facing responsibilities and internal administrative tasks, which keeps my day varied and productive.

Cons

Limited Remote Work Flexibility: While I understand the value of in-office collaboration, I believe having more opportunities to work remotely would significantly improve productivity and well-being. -It would help avoid traffic congestion and the hassle of commuting during bad weather. -It would also allow for better rest and recovery, as the time saved from commuting could be used for sleep and personal wellness.
