Pros

The pay seemed good at the time. Basic benefits and 401k, office environment

Cons

They work you insanely hard and are constantly watching the clock to make sure you keep churning out calls, You are expected to be through security and logged on to your computer to take calls before you shifts starts, they call any downtime "time theft". The call center has grown increasingly understaffed leading to longer hold times and angrier customers, who take longer to get off the phone because of their anger, thus perpetuating the cycle. Team leads will pick favorites, my old team lead made a point to skip over my team member development meetings entirely but bent over backwards for others. I made it known I was unhappy in the call center for a long time, but still stuck it out for the required year before trying to move to a department I would be better suited for. Not only was I never given the lateral transfer I repeatedly requested, but one of my teammates was given this transfer before his year wait had expired. My wife worked in another department, she worked hard and was very good at what she did. It led only to them giving her increased work loads and more complex problems with zero pay increase. Her department was required to work Sundays, as well as work late on weekdays ("until the work's done", but work was never done). My department consistently had 10 hours of OT a week, thankfully paid OT, but that just meant more time being screamed at by irate plan participants. My wife tried to take time off to visit her friend in another state whos mother was dying of cancer, TRP repeatedly refused her time off requests AND refused to let her work remotely. All of the work in both departments could be done remotely, yet the company refused to allow WFH until the midst of the pandemic, and even then used incredibly out of date methods (working on my own home machine to remotely connect to my desktop computer at the office!) and constantly spoke of getting everyone back to the office. Like many other corporations, TRP will talk a big game of family and work life balance and how their "mission" justifies their existence, and then they will abuse their employees until they leave before their employer 401k contributions are vested. Stay away, it is absolutely not worth it.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
