Pros

* Pay is great and you get company stock on top of that (if you stay at the company after 1 year). * Fully remote work with the option to work at the office if you desire. But WFH has helped me become more productive overall both in and out of work. Perfect environment. * The majority of the people in the company are wonderful and helpful. * The company are very transparent in their values and what’s expected from us and themselves. * Very encouraging environment. Any negatives are turned into a positive. * Weekly huddles with the team which definitely helps with morale and team spirit as well as address any issues that management may have noticed. * Free therapy as well as private medical and dental insurance. * Monthly town halls where you can submit a question to the top executives including the CEO. * Progressive company. * Open and transparent. You don’t ever feel like being too awkward to ask anything. In fact, you learn to be very open and upfront. * Although the company preaches growth, I’m too new to see this but veterans of the company I know of started from the bottom and have made a name for themselves within the company! * The people you work with are great. * Work-life balance is great. I’ve only had the occasional slack message during a day off but work stops when my shift comes to an end.

Cons

* The company have already acknowledged and are working on this: Training was dire. Not a lot of people make it out. If you do… you’re built different because the software is overwhelmingly complex. Especially with what the company expects you to learn. * Lunch is only 30 minutes whereas the other support teams and higher ups get 45 minutes minimum. But we get two 15 minute breaks so not the end of the world. * Turnover rate is very high right now. Lots of people from the department leaving the company. * Customers can be very difficult, including when it’s an complex issue or they’re already frustrated before you pick up the call. And especially if it’s related to the sales side of things which is out of your control.

Pros

-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.

Cons

-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO - They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP - Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off. - Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security - This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return. -Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go. - The company asks for more than they give. - The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted. - The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
