Pros

- The awards program - Great people in the team - Health and dental insurance

Cons

Because CS works in shifts, agents don't get to participate in basically anything that the rest of the company does, as well as going to events or attending Comms meetings. Agents have absolutely zero voice, there's no channel to provide feedback on management at all, higher level management has never taken the time to speak with the agents to check how things are going, if we needed anything, or if we had suggestions to improve CS life.... nothing. Really good agents working there for 2+ years without ever being promoted; no career progression at all and they would rather hire Team Leaders externally basically every single time, than promoting more tenured agents internally who showed interest. Flexibility was extremely limited as well, it was 'you have to work under our flexibility terms', but not providing an actual hybrid choice other than what they imposed. Turnover levels are ridiculous, people don't stay too long when they realize that they don't really get what is sold to them during the interviews. Agents who work an 8h shift only have a 30-min break throughout the entire day. Customer Service didn't receive any additional money to buy home office supplies, other than being sent 1 extra monitor. If we wanted to buy a desk, or anything else to provide a better WFH environment, we had to buy with our money. There's a lot of 'toxic positivity' as well, where people have to be constantly happy and smiling, even though the entire team is swamped with work, and any attitude that shows otherwise (such as complaining, or stating facts) will be highly frowned upon.

Thank you for your feedback, we are always grateful when our employees, both past and present, take the time to share feedback on the improvement items they would like to see, as it demonstrates their belief and confidence in our intention to do the right thing and our willingness to respond and improve. Our customer service team operates on a 24/7 basis to provide a high standard of support for our customers and I understand that some of your comments reflect the demands of this. We are also emerging from our busiest season ever in which we were able to support all of our customers at this difficult Global time, thank you for your part in that. The employee experience is important to us and we continue to identify and tackle opportunities that exist to adapt and improve our culture, particularly as we try and design new ways of working that reflect the environment we have today. I would welcome the opportunity to hear more in person, and ask that you consider reaching out to me directly and in confidence.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
