Pros

Pto sounded appealing Some people were more tolerable than others

Cons

Cons would be almost everything Got watched over like a hawk constantly even though management was poor. Wasn’t given quite literally any training at all I wish I was kidding. I was handed google documents & sheets to learn from no 1 on 1. No training with others or at all for that matter. Spent an extra 5 min to read emails check notes etc. was also scolded for that! Was told to check them during my break or off the clock??? Phone calls are given 15 seconds after the caller hangs up to leave a log full of q&a’s w there legal info such as ssn , address, name. Things that NEEED to be correct legally and u get 15 seconds before another call comes in for something else. Phone calls are recorded and listened to by higher ups way more than needed, and are sent back for “review” to learn how to talk to people better and u don’t ever get time to listen to them as mentioned if u do anything besides call taking while on the clock shame on you! Or do anything rather if your a phone rep that is, besides take calls. If you do anything else. You will be wrote about it and scolded for it within 20minutes lol. Wasn’t worth it to me for my states minimum wages. People at McDonald’s guanrteeed made more money than me and were definitely doing 75% less work. Job utilized 4 different tabs open at once. They had you so busy they sent everyone 3 computer monitors so u could be overwhelmed in work at all times. Just do not reccoemend.

Pros

Amazing, smart, and hardworking co-workers.

Cons

I have a good idea why you'd be reading this one-star review as an employee. We have been clear to middle management all the way up to C-suite executives that this is not working for us. What have we received for a response besides low-quality corporate doublespeak? There is no career growth within the company for a vast majority of high-performing and loyal employees. This was addressed with anecdotes of 'Wexers' of years-past who have climbed the ranks. This is not the current climate, and is no longer feasible. Take a look at the job board. Do you want the $18-20 hourly wage job, or do you want to take a shot at the position requiring 8+ years of Machine Learning experience? Let's say you love working in your position, and you are one of the best on your team. Sure, you may be able to stay in that role until its made redundant by some glorified chatbot. Your wages will not keep up with inflation. You will be in the same pay pool as someone who was just hired, and will leave the company before they learn the fundamentals of the role. It's okay though. Wex has done market research and is paying a fair wage when you take the benefits into consideration. It is your fault you can not afford rent and food. Maybe its a 'you' problem. Maybe you are going crazy. They must be paying what you really are worth, right? WELL HOT DOG! We are expanding in the metropolises. San Francisco, New York, Dallas, WASHINGTON FLIPPING DC!? Wow. I can't believe it. Now we can operate like a dot com giant right before the bubble popped. Sourcing big city talent with their pleated trousers and pants-suits. About time we do things the right way and get the layabouts back to the office while we are at it. JUST KIDDING! Its not a return-to-office initiative. We are just conveniently nearly exclusively hiring within 30 miles of our company espresso machines. It is just that you can only properly collaborate if you can smell your coworkers morning coffee breath. Meaningful coworker bonds and collaboration can not be accomplished remotely. Who has ever heard of an "online community?" You are not alone. The time for "being professional about it" is over. Hiding behind the optics of holding the high-ground does not work when you are throwing your valued employees into the meat grinder for shareholder value. We WANT this business to succeed. We WANT what is best for the company. We know that creating a bleak, soulless working environment is not the way to do it. You are losing your best and most loyal.
