Pros

- Great Perks, some good teams, fast-growing

Cons

- LinkedIn can speak for itself. Tons of first-time managers - Asked to bcc all interactions to your manager - Success is more of a support gig - Boss will yell out you privately, and then throw you under the bus to save themselves - Success often makes fun of their own customers. Heard threats of "My way or the highway" - Many act to be your friend, but if you listen closely - they are actually talking behind your back

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
