Pros

If you say 'Yes' to everything you can make it work for a few years. A pro, for now, is the lunch plan and medical, but there are signs that these on the way out.

Cons

Change to a more dollar-driven focus and less about doing common good. A lot of marketing dollars spent, but no attention to product detail or employee development.

Thank you for sharing your candid thoughts with us. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed our benefits during your time with us; we currently have no plans to make any changes to them. I want to assure you that employee development is incredibly important to us at SoFi, and I'm sorry to hear that wasn't necessarily your experience. You might have left us before we made some significant improvements in this area, including launching a mentorship program specifically for our most underrepresented team members, and developing a comprehensive manager onboarding training program to set our people leaders up for success. That being said, we appreciate your feedback and know it will help us improve. If you have any additional details to share, please send them to glassdoor@sofi.org.

Pros

You are only required to work from the office 1 day of the week and the rest from home. The Benefit package is great. The company has free snacks, fruits and drinks at the office and it provides the employees with lunch at least once a month while at the office.

Cons

You are literately a modern day slave with low pay and a tone of work. After a few months you have to get upskilled (more work) without any additional compensation. You are constantly evaluated: First call resolution is huge, the goal is for the member not to have to call back in at least a week. The company wants the call to last less than 5 minutes (or you get dinged). The company wants the members to respond to the surveys and if they don't it counts against you. if you go on chats, you will have to serve maneuver between two different once at the same time. You ONLY get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It is difficult to go to the restroom because while on the phones there is NO actual bathroom disposition and so you will get dinged and if it takes you longer than 5 minutes you get a message from intrudium informing you that you are out of adherence. The technology is the worse I have ever had to work with. It uses a program called Zscaler that is constantly disconnecting and when it does, it interrupts all of the other programs that are required to work with, in which case you have to inform WFM that you are having tech issues either by telephone or by sending a Workflow and hope it gets approved. While in training you are informed that you will only get paid up to 1 hr while having a tech issue. Workflows are huge and used for everything, including if you are suppose to clock out for the day but you are still on a call and it makes you go over 5 minutes (or you get dinged). Putting in for PTO or Sick Time is also not easy either, it's all about the companies needs so, hopefully you will get approved or maybe not. H.R. is only there a bit while you are hired and of course if you are let go but other than that, not sure what they do because there is no real connection.
