Pros

The management team is excellent. They are always available via the open door policy and I am comfortable talking with them about any issues or suggestions I might have. Additionally, the expectations of my job are generally clear and reasonable. I am challenged in my job but I also feel like I am put in position to succeed. I am also happy that they allow employees to work from home on a regular schedule.I do not enjoy commuting via the car and if I had to drive to this office 5 days a week, I probably would have looked for new job a while ago. There is excellent work life balance and ample PTO offered to employees. I feel appreciated and am very happy with the training I am allowed to pursue for my professional development

Cons

I think that I am underpaid given my experience and responsibilities. Also, given the size of the company, I have been asked lately to perform tasks that are outside of my normal responsibilities. I also don't feel like there is much room for growth personally given the small size of the team. I am happy with my title and responsibilities now but it is hard to see where/how I would be able to take on more and grow my career.

Pros

Paid training that’s done remotely. Coworkers were great and often bonded over how opportunistic and generally awful the company was.

Cons

Unprofessional managers, no raises even when workload doubles or triples and employees are expected to cover other positions that have been eliminated, Experienced multiple instances of unfair employee practices, biases, unrealistic work expectations and discriminatory hiring practices. No standards in place for employee safety! They operate on a strict set of rules for how to best service the client but have a “cross that bridge when we come to it” mentality for protecting their staff. You will spend money on therapy to recover from working here. Very high turnover rate, naturally.
