Pros

People are in and out of this place so they are always hiring. Deceitful and usury. Management will lie to your face for weeks. pay is meager. The mission is to make more people pay them not actually help them. No recognition or appreciation and the commission is all but allusive.

Cons

3 rounds of interviews and used good references for 15 dollars an hour. AE's got it pretty bad up there too. they are focused on DEI, virtue signaling, and numbers

Pros

Free tuition, flexible and work from home

Cons

Incredibly toxic environment, executive team, senior leadership and HR all worked together at previous company and gang-up on on employees that don’t fit their clique - also creating roles for their friends, unfair hiring and promotional opportunity practices, incredible amount of turn-over/terminations leaving employees shocked and in constant fear of losing their job and afraid to speak up of any questions or concerns.
