Pros

Ability to work from home and they give you extensive training. Most coworkers are positive, nice and helpful. The hiring process was easy and they provide you a computer. Pay was good, basic benefits.

Cons

My customer success manager was not nice, did not have good client facing skills, which made it awkward to recruit and interact with the clients. This manager was rude, not helpful, and micromanaged. The opportunity for growth within the company is minimal. It is hard to feel like a team while working fully remote, but that is preference. I think if management was better for me, it would have made the team environment better. They make all new employees write reviews about the company, which I think is not ethical, of course a new employee is going to put something nice. Which is why I am here writing a more honest review.

Response from Founder and CEO, Emily V. Biscardi- Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, both positive and negative. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the ability to work from home and the extensive training that we provide. I am also glad to hear that you found most of your coworkers to be positive, nice, and helpful. I too was concerned about management and the reason why I took action to turn over members of the leadership team. We have received very positive feedback on new leadership from both employees and clients. I want to clarify your comment on ‘making’ employees write reviews. We do ask employees, if they are so inclined, to write a review. We do not tell them what to say. I apologize that your departure may have been a result of poor management at the time. I do hope that you have found a position that is more suitable for you. Emily V. Biscardi, Founder and CEO

Not too many cons but must be noted: at this time there is no bonus plan or 401k match, however the compensation is more than fair and these things are most likely temporary.
