Pros

The money is good and that is the only con I can think of.

Cons

No idea how this company gets any "Best companies to work for". They are micro manage you to a point that it is almost comical. They say they don't have a script, but their QA grades say otherwise. If you don't say the EXACT verbiage they will mark you down for that question. Just give us a script. If their sales team sells a lot in a state, they will then raise that states premiums AND the goals for that state. Seems to me they don't want you making THAT much money. There is a revolving door of sales agents here and now I understand why. They monitor your private slack messages. That was recently confirmed by a coworkers mid term review. If you are bad mouthing the company (Privately) they will know. Hitting the goals are WAY harder than they make it seem in the interviews. You won't get your footing until around month 4 or 5. MAYBE. They make it seem easy in the interviews and that is wrong. Taking PTO is almost impossible. If you take time off, you better get ready to stress to make your monthly numbers. Too many people take their one week vacation and then come back and cannot hit that months goals. So it does not REALLY support any kind of work/life balance. Now they have a points system for any lateness and tardies. The rollout has been a complete disaster and wildly unpopular. I dont think I can call out the ridiculous rules but trust me. Its bad. This company does not seem to value their employees and really values the dollar and bind count. If you can afford it, work at any other company. Even the old school companies gotta be better than this place.

Pros

Remote work, decent benefits for some things. If you thrive in high stress/high pressure situations, with constant change & pivoting priorities, this place is for you.

Cons

Kin having the value “Operate lean; deliver more” should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about working at this company. There is little to no training yet the expectations to produce & perform are very high. Flexible/unlimited PTO is part of the benefits but if you feel like you can’t ever take time off because you’re so busy with work/deadlines, it’s not really a benefit. Not to mention, the time leading up to taking more than a few days off is SO stressful trying to get everything done or ready to be handed off that you question if it’s even worth it. Burnout is a very real thing at this company. They terminate people quite frequently here so you are often in fear of losing your job which adds another level of stress on top of everything else. While they are flexible, the work/life balance is poor. Working evenings & weekends is frequently necessary to meet deadlines.
