Pros

You receive a paycheck biweekly

Cons

Toxic environment. Often told by “leadership” if you don’t like it leave. Constantly increasing goal expectations while removing access to actual work. No recognition for sales, achievements or large projects. Leadership doesn’t cut the dead weight of those who under preform, leaving the hard working staff frustrated. Common statement to read or hear is , your salary we expect you to work 60+ hours a week. Yet salary is is barley over minimum wage.

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.

Pros

The company is not located in Afghanistan Free on-Earth parking Complimentary air I met someone nice there in 1998

Cons

Eroding benefits package and increasing insurance premiums Clueless, capricious, cliquey management treats the company like a piggy bank for dinners, trips, etc Absolutely no chance of promotions - ever Zero morale High turnover Business plan relies too heavily on growth through acquisition. Eventually, there won't be any more companies left to acquire and contraction will be inevitable Scattershot and disorganized integration plan for billion dollar acquisitions Recent IT outsourcing has not been successful. It reeks of poor planning and placing value on "scale" rather than employee satisfaction.
