Pros

You make great friends. There are folks from all walks of life. It's a job.

Cons

The pressure to get "credit apps & cash rewards" don't match up with rewards. Ice cream sundaes for the most sign-ups? really? Other companies pay CASH in your paychecks for such efforts. Many employees don't believe they'll ever see their "samshare" again. Older folks, the cement floor is a killer.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
