Pros

Time off, flexibility and benefits are the ONLY pros. I have only worked in corporate America and this BY FAR the absolute worst, unmotivating company. You have us working on 2 desk tops like it’s 1997. Can’t even sit outside to work on a laptop bc we don’t get them.

Cons

Everything. Unsure how this place has lasted this long. Management is ancient, does nothing to keep up with the times or keep up with statistics in the industry. The only thing they do is listen to every call and micro manage. They won’t help you because they are too busy listening to your calls. Sales goals are NOT attainable. They increase yearly and take more away from the clients, who are all going to competitors. There is NO growth- absolute lies if they tell you otherwise. People are here 15+ years with full regret of never leaving and being in the same position bc it’s the only option. No bonus unless the ENTIRE company makes their numbers, which they won’t because it’s impossible based on lies to investors. Please keep looking, do not listen to their lies to get you to work here. RUN.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
