Pros

Benefits, starting pay...free food and drinks. $2k travel stipend. PTO, gym reimbursement...company happy hours and swag... still the best company I’ve worked for despite how quick it’s going downhill. Sometimes you can work from home if it’s late or your day off.

Cons

Management is awful, often times won’t give you an answer and never get back to you with an answer or straight lie. I know several people that have been sexually harassed by management and other departments but won’t say anything in fear of losing their job. I used to love this company it seemed as though we were spoiled and now it is a glorified call center, the culture is depleting with micromanaging and little positive feedback. It is very much a popularity contest. Parking is expensive but they pay you a percentage back. The training is very minimal and unorganized you have to learn as you go and dig to find things or rely on other people that don’t know either. Not a lot of positive reenforcement. Seniority doesn’t matter. They don’t do pay raises. They did a quarterly review to try to make people feel heard, which resulted in nothing. Best to keep your head down if you work there or make friends with the right people. Support is not recognized like it should be. There’s been so many times I’ve gone out of my way not to be acknowledged.

Thank you for this feedback, it's very important to hear and to address these concerns. To start, we take claims of sexual harassment and fear of retaliation very seriously. We strongly encourage any employee who feels unsafe or who has concerns or examples of harassment to reach out to the People team, we sit right here in the Dallas office. Additionally, any employees who raise concerns will not be retaliated against and we have processes in place to prevent such things from happening. We hosted sexual harassment prevention training earlier this year and will do so again in early 2020. It's very important to us to create a culture not at all like that of a 'typical call center' and to do so, rely on feedback from the employees. Many of the ideas we've put into place recently (like our internal job board, revamping our employee on boarding, recognition programs) have come directly from our employees, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly with your feedback. Thank you!"

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
