Pros

Only one pro, it is a job

Cons

There are so many, where to begin. The unrealistic workload, treatment of employees, 50-60 hour work weeks and low compensation per stress and work requirements. Expected to work weekend, after this weekend, I will have worked 21 straight days, and that is with working 60 hours each week. They try to promote the $4 lunches, what is a lunch? I took 2 lunches this week at my desk, and shame on me for going to the bathroom. The micromanagement is beyond the creepy level! I was proud to work for an OK based company, how disappointed I am in the entire company model. I really believe the company promotes a hostile work environment. If an employee says different they are either management or lying. There is always the fear of retribution. Single parents are made to feel bad if they don't want to work on the weekends they happen to have their kids. If you can't work on Sunday because of church, you are told that the expectations will be the same, which means, you should really work because you are going to be required the same workload to get done in 6 days instead of 7. When the weather was so bad last month, employees were told to show up or else because our clients don't care how the weather is in Oklahoma. I will leave as soon as I can find another job!

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.
