Pros

- Flexible with time off - Bonuses based on revenue - Employer contribution to HSA - DEI friendly

Cons

- Raises do not keep up with inflation - Frequent layoffs - Outsourcing work overseas - Spends more on acquisitions instead of employee retention - Utilizes Inspire & Celebrate program but does not allow monetary celebrations - Donuts and Pizza budget should be reallocated to employee pay - Advertises a role at $20/hr - $27/hr. And with 4 years of experience on the team, and an extensive background making a person overqualified for the role, offering $21/hr - No salary negotiations. You get what you get. - With multiple rounds of layoffs, career growth is almost impossible

Pros

- Good work/life balance - Decent benefits - Competitive pay (though it is trending toward the lower end) - Remote work

Cons

- Cares more about shareholders and quarterly share value than employees or customers. - Somehow the company micromanages employees while also being extremely disorganized. - Constant management shuffling leads to frequent changes in policy and procedure causing instability and arbitrary new rules. - Too many middle-managers. - Upper-Management is too far removed from workers. They continually make changes that negatively impact the employee and customer experience. - The company grew too quickly and is extremely disorganized. - CEO Melissa Smith is very likable and used to care about her workforce. Something changed over the last few years and upper management has completely lost touch with the rank-and-file. - WEX is too focused on quarterly shares that they have forgotten to provide quality services. - Outsourcing jobs, a move to AI, and focus on quarterly earnings means regular rounds of layoffs. - Technology that used to be cutting edge is now lagging behind competitors. - Employee morale has completely tanked, customers on legacy platforms are leaving in droves, and the company seems to be headed toward a death-spiral in which investors and upper-management strip the company for parts.
