Pros

My direct manager was fantastic and encouraging. Training was fast and I was able to begin production in less than 3 weeks. System is innovative.

Cons

They make a big deal about culture and the value they put on their employees, but it appears we were seen as an expense on their balance sheet. I was out of training early, independently producing all the work that was given to me (including coverage files), told by my manager that they were impressed and so happy by my work that they saw future leadership in multiple checkins, then let go with 15% of their staff citing performance. With a hire when planning to fire management style, how can Better.com expect to retain or attract top talent? How can a consumer trust a company that treats their employees this way? Just be wary, they recruited me hard to come to Better.com before this. Poor planning by senior management and I would bet they will do this again.
