Pros

You do get to work from home.

Cons

You will be so completely busy because they refuse to hire more employees that you will hardly be able to stand up to use the bathroom. Expect your job role to constantly expand and your pay check to not reflect the amount added in workload. The "management" are very young, inexperienced sorority girl like group that DO NOT take criticism well at all. They will preach honesty and an open door policy however they will use every word you tell them against you in the future. Promised career advancement within the organization however would never create a "plan or progress map" to get there. Would constantly kick the can down the road and say "in the future" We were forced to work some weekends by ourselves with over 100+ chats taken because they refused to hire more staff. The app itself was going through a "remodel" and because of this there were a very large percentage of the customer base very unhappy and constantly writing in tickets to complain about the project. The customer success team who fields all of these complaints was left out to dry on information. We never had solid answers or timelines, we were essentially just the punching bags of the company so the management, developers, and owners didn't have to deal with it.

Pros

There are some nice people on the team. Flexible PTO.

Cons

You can only go so high up in the company anymore. You have to 'prove yourself' with other job duties for minimum one quarter before you can get a pay raise, so be prepared to do additional tasks and not get paid for it. The product isn't very good, it breaks a lot. So if you're looking for a job on the client success team you should be prepared to be the punching bag of the team. They let their home inspectors swear at you and call you names and offer no protection for their employees. I have never worked a job that my supervisors let me be treated so poorly by clients. Their benefits are awful and some of my coworkers cannot afford health insurance through the company, so they go without. I'm talking more than a car payment for health insurance. That within itself is enough to leave a job. Their all hands meetings are full of love bombs but the company isn't doing well, and it feels fake.

Pros

WFH, Cool people to work with

Cons

There was a time when the CS team was touted as the best support team out there, but those times are long gone. Despite the constant micromanaging, a never-ending list of metrics being tracked, and having your day scheduled out to the minute, most days are chaotic and stressful with little to no support from the top. The schedules are so random and can change from day to day, leaving the people who are consistently in office or that work primarily on the chat to do all of the work. The product itself is not consistent, so clients have the option to use an old app that doesn’t work or a new app that doesn’t work. This has become the meat of the job on CS: defending a product that doesn’t work with no release date in sight, no legitimate tools to help, and again no support from the teams that could actually help. You’re left to apologize day in and day out, then accept being verbally abused by the clients when they’ve reached their limit. There are only so many opportunities for growth here, and those opportunities usually go to the favorites of the company. There used to be weekly company meetings, now those are biweekly, and as the close-knit feel of the company fades away so does the presence of the owners. Spectora had a great thing going, but getting ahead of themselves and trying to rebrand is killing them slowly.
