From Dave Kryzanski, Service & Operations VP: I appreciate your positive comments about our remote-work environment, benefits and paid time away. I am sorry to see that your day-to-day experience isn’t as positive. Our customer service roles can be some of the most challenging in the company, but we also work hard to ensure market-competitive pay and staffing to meet the needs of the business. In fact we just welcomed another new hire group.
