Pros

The people that work around you are very supportive. Direct managers are helpful and listen to input. There is no one looking over your shoulder demanding work. Self motivated personalities will excel here. The benefits for full-time employees aren't terrible.

Cons

Corporate places unrealistic goals to meet. They say you can earn bonuses, but even if everyone worked 60 hours a week the goals wouldn't get met. The system is misaligned, and instead of fixing from the bottom to make process more productive and beneficial the focus is to hit the numbers regardless of how. It never feels like corporate cares about their workers, just the numbers and they will do whatever it takes to meet them. Hard to move up within the company because training is lacking. You are barely trained for your position and then never taught anything beyond.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, though not exceptional. Many of the coworkers are supportive and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Management lacked professionalism and consistency. Communication was often unreliable, with delayed or nonexistent responses to emails and messages. Training sessions were frequently interrupted or started late, and there were no clear process documents or structured onboarding materials in place, which made it difficult to succeed in the role. I also experienced inappropriate and concerning comments during my time there, including remarks about hiring decisions that referenced race. This created an uncomfortable and unprofessional work environment. Overall, the lack of structure, accountability, and professional communication made the role challenging and unsustainable.
