Pros

-the gym at the Grapevine Office is fantastic

Cons

-You will be handed a completely unmanageable workload for which you will not have the training or resources to handle -Super high turnover rate in the PSD department due to burn out. I've never worked anywhere where so many people get fired or quit without notice. A person who has been in this department for a year and a half is considered quite senior. -They'll ease you in with 3 months of training and then drop a crazy amount of work that will require massive amounts of overtime. Be prepared to put in 50 hour weeks just to try and keep up with the workload -They will try to downplay this, but this is call center work in which your every move will be tracked. -You will have to beg your friends to watch your emails(unpaid extra work) whenever you get sick or take time off.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
