Pros

- Training program is thorough - Medical benefits are good - Slighty above average base compensation - Employees and some management are happy to help when you have a question.

Cons

-Highly competitive environment - Micro-manager mentality - No work life balance!! Always pushing employees to work late evenings and weekends. Highlighting the employees that work weekends creating an environment where employees that can’t work weekends feel guilty. While many companies were giving employees self-care days in 2020, Swoon was advising employees to work longer hours to beat competition saying it was “imperative.” - No time to cook healthy meals or stay active. One manager tried to persuade her team a few times to work late saying she would buy them dinner. -Quantity versus quality mentality

Thank you for your feedback, and we can relate to how difficult it can be to create work/life balance to ensure that goals are being met in both personal and professional lives. This is why Swoon has a flexible working environment, in which employees can create their schedules to ensure that they are meeting both responsibilities at the "office" and at home. There may be some weeks, if an individual is having difficulty meeting their work goals, that they are encouraged to put in some extra time in the evenings or over the weekend to ensure that they are meeting the objectives. Staffing is hard, even more so now - and we value and appreciate all our employees and the hard work they contribute each and every day.

Pros

I have a contracted job at a big company that values me. Not Swoon.

Cons

Low pay. No paid holidays. 5 days to use as vacation or sick time. No communication to see how things are going at the company I work at. The company I work at authorizes a pay raise and Swoon takes more of the raise than they give to me. Health insurance offered does not cover anything major that may happen.
