Pros

Good starting wage, lots of opportunities to learn

Cons

Leadership is weak and deceptive. There is huge disconnect between management and the service team i.e. half of the service team left due to the same issues. The favoritism is blunt and right in your face. Several weak team members were promoted with little knowledge of the industry and ghastly work ethics. There are also a number of account executives who don't pull their own weight. In short, success here is driven by office politics not performance.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
