Pros

-Management -Benefits -HR department -Training class allows you to get to know product well -Training class included all departments within one group -CEO,CFO, etc all speak to you as a training class when you're hired (Amazing) -Friendly enviroment for the most part

Cons

-Training class does not prepare you for anything other than the product (you won't know how to navigate customer accounts, policy on escalation, etc) -Seemed to have cliques -Call Center (They try to get you to understand this before hire, but do not refer to it as a call center position) -Most people seem to be very helpful, however, there are individuals who act as if they are inconvenienced. This is likely due to turnover rate for the support department. -The entire department is well aware of the turnover rate. Current employees will discuss how often people leave as soon as you start. This makes it difficult as a noob. -Bathroom breaks (not within 2 fifteen minute breaks or lunch period) have a 10-minute allotment- it is frowned upon to use this consistently and can lead to punishment -Policy on attendance is very strict. This is the reason most people get terminated. -Starting pay at 15 doesn't seem worth it- the ramping period is a good idea but implemented poorly.

Pros

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Cons

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Pros

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Cons

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
