Pros

The teams that you’re placed on are great! Everyone tries as much as possible to help each other (since leadership really isn’t helping us). Benefits are ok but 401k match was stopped due to the pandemic. For the most part, clients are nice but you definitely find yourself cleaning up others people’s messes and getting upset clients because the person before you “dropped the ball.” It’s also hard to stay on top of your work load, since management is more worried about the team’s overall numbers instead of each individual account manager’s numbers/dashboards. You’ll find you’re working on team projects more often than your own stuff, and management just brushes it off if you bring it up.

Cons

Very high stress job. Not worth the pay

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
