Pros

Some truly great managers and fellow employees. Laid-back work environment. Compensates well for home internet and physical fitness. Easy job to perform.

Cons

Changes constantly—this is framed as positive, but in reality it creates an uncertain work environment. Very limited opportunities for advancement—to the point of feeling clique-like. They do nothing to create equal pay for minorities and women across roles, yet celebrate this underachievement since they "are doing better than other companies." Difficult to really connect with senior management. Pay raises are ridiculously minimal for the lowest paid, and exorbitant for the highest.

Pros

Had many roles at ZG over 8+ years. I loved the culture, people, vision and benefits I really enjoyed my time there. I loved working with the agents and seeing them succeed. ZG was a place I called home as I spent more time in the office with these people than I did my own home.

Cons

Depending on your role, no advancement opportunities. Lateral moves are more frequent, but pay stays the same. Leadership is as transparent as they can be, but there is ALWAYS changes going on behind the scenes. It is very obvious when meetings get canceled out of the blue, reorgs happen on a Monday morning and you don't know about it until you get a company wide email. These are major changes that employees deserve to find out from their own manager/director. It impacts our role, our livelihood most of all. A company wide email letting you know that your entire team/position is going to be changing is unacceptable.

Pros

- Low expectations. - Flexible remote hours.

Cons

- Senior leadership drove this bus blindly off a cliff and wants us plebs to believe in their vision. - Single-minded, Seattle-based, politically charged, exclusive, ridiculing culture. - Hires skin colors instead of talent in repeatedly blatant, evidenced violation of the law by mandate from the highest levels of corporate leadership. - Comp is much higher for new hires than for the people teaching them to do their jobs. - "If you're in this meeting, you didn't get fired." - Changing directions too quickly to ever. complete. anything.
