Pros

At $18/hour it’s decent pay for the work.

Cons

They do not offer any bonuses or incentives unless you are sales but they often expect you to inform them of add on’s and then transfer you to sales so they can get the bonus and not you despite you doing most of the work. Management is a joke and they demean you as your work load increases or as they make people angry by increasing their rates and expecting you to make them happy despite not being able to help them. Managers are only out for themselves, they will fire you at the slightest rumor of inconvenience. Had a friend who was fired simply because she asked to be out on a different team because their manager had a bad management style and liked to talk down to them about any tiny mistake. When they requested to change teams, suddenly HR steps in and claims they don’t align with the company values. Management is cliquey and pretend to be kind when they are not. This company should be good but it is infested but cruel, un-empathetic, hostile, self serving middle management and until they do a clean sweep and get ride of those who only care about themselves and should not be in a position to manage anyone, this company will always suffer.

Good but not great

Pros

You get to work with a lot of passionate and driven people. You’re helping save pets! Trupanion insurance really is an incredible product. Certain things could be better (there’s always room to improve with anything) but it’s a great product, designed to improve the lives of pets. Margi is great! Like with the product there are things with her leadership that could be better but she is great at motivating and uniting the team, she also cares deeply about the company’s mission and goals.

Cons

There’s a lot of favoritism that negatively impacts the business and bottom line. There is one person in particular, the Chief Product Officer who essentially runs around the company like a toddler throwing tantrums. He did a great thing with creating the original Trupanion product, there’s no doubt on that. But because he was right with that he’s now incapable of acknowledging that any idea he has could be bad. Trupanion pays good people to market the product, but this individual gets to come in and demand any changes he wants. Trupanion has gotten away from letting data drive the marketing strategy. Instead of letting consumers tell you how they want to be marketed through rigorous A/B testing, results are ignored to cater to the marketing strategy of a person who has the social skills of a rock. Seriously, why is someone who struggles to connect to human beings driving the marketing of this product?
