Pros

good perks and great benefits that help make this place tolerable to work at. They are quickly stepping back in providing these great perks which I guess is a con....

Cons

culture is terrible here and is very every man for himself and people aren't afraid to throw you under the bus. major growing pains that don't have a positive trajectory with no work life balance. complete disregard for opinions being voiced and breeds a culture of fear to speak up. Also, no clear roles and responsibilities for communication leads to miscommunication. disregard for the actual needs of a company when hiring and then creates confusion for incoming hires on what they're actually there to do.

Pros

- Friendly and inviting environment - Inclusive - Autonomy

Cons

- Poor training (gaps exist in workflows, workflows are tailored to senior agents only and not new joiners) - Metrics (discussed briefly, but never something emphasized until it's too late) - Low pay (you're criminally being underpaid for this role and it's responsibilities despite the company being massive) - False expectations (be okay with metrics that were closed to meeting, but suddenly, cutting you loose without any advance notice)
