Pros

Hybrid at the time… celebration leave/TO for Bdays.

Cons

After a year of trading for the position in specific states, we got to the floor and worked completely different states. Not all states have the same rules so you pretty much have to figure it out. While you’re working in unfamiliar territory they still expect you to process cases 25-40 cases per hour. Sure there are resources but they are about as clear as mud. And God forbid you make a minor mistake. Now you have a peer feedback and half the time it’s something simple, but due to the pressure to submit a certain amount per month, you waste more time. The FLL has no clue how to do the job that they are managing on. So asking them for help in pointless. Also for a company that brags about being #1 in the industry and all this profit, their lowest level employees can’t even afford to pay rent without a roommate and side hustle. This position has honestly been a waste of time due the work being done is totally different than what is done in the same position at other companies. This will be a waste of your time unless you want to work here for 35 years. And when you make 3.5 decades just know you won’t get much. That’s how much they value your tenure. Take this position because it’s a job, but don’t get comfortable. Have a plane to leave.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
