Pros

My direct leadership team is awesome and supportive. They will do anything and everything to help you succeed in your role. We often get free breakfast and lunches for the whole building. And they always like to find things to celebrate. There are a lot of good benefits

Cons

This position is stressful and demanding. Clients are either very kind or very angry, You have way more clients assigned to you then what they promise you. Trying to get out of the client services department is very difficult. The talk about "career development", but so far all I have seen of this is people leveling up in the same departments not moving thought out the company. I have tried to move departments for 3 years and have not been able to because of different timing issues like department lock downs for year end and the fiscal year. There is also a 3 month blackout where you cannot use any vacation time usually from Dec-Feb for year end. Also, all the new hires are getting hired around $5 an hour more then what everyone who has been here for a bit is getting. As for work life balance, At first this was something they pushed and even got mad at me for taking to much overtime. But now they seem desperate to get their metrics where they want them. I am so burnt out from working overtime for the past several months and just want the regular 40 hours but I cant' get my metrics correct without overtime. My team lead even strongly advised that I needed to work overtime in order to keep up.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
