Pros

Flexible schedules can be accommodated. Great culture, but people that truly own it are far and few. The winter season company-wide holiday is the one time that everyone seems to embody the culture and values. Benefit plans very affordable, but changes in 2025 have caused a shift to a new insurance provider that won't cover certain medications.

Cons

The culture /can/ be great, but is either used as toxic positivity or overlooked entirely. In this, I mean that you will be spoken with if you do not have the right attitude, or given a motivational story to think on so you can embrace the culture. Or, when the queues get overloaded, it means getting called out for not being in a phone or chat channel while working on an urgent case. To piggyback off of that, coaches will tell you to not use after-call work, but team leads will encourage you to. It feels like coaches and front-line leads are not on the same page. Employees are encouraged to pass-off work to previous case owners instead of taking over the case when it is difficult or needs further review. In multiple scenarios, cases I hadn't been able to work on due to being out-of-office were redirected back to my queue instead of worked on in a timely manner. Where is the drive to "Do the right thing" or "Lead from where you are"? The queue I worked in was supposed to be split evenly between chats, phones, and email, but the position is definitely 99%phone based unless you have enough phone cases to justify giving you chat time. Lack of support is another con. Most times, questions from leads wouldn't be answered in a timely manner even if on the phone with an escalated client. No support for disabilities until federally responsible to. The handbook guidelines are very vague. Very little transparency all around.

Pros

Everyone is very kind and helpful. They want you to succeed. Very positive.

Cons

Hourly rate with having to clock in and out gets annoying. Pay increase is all based on merit/performance. I was a great employee but still only receive 3.5% increase to my hourly rate. Culture is sometimes too positive where people won’t be real. Not a lot of room for movement unless you’ve been in the position for 2years. Even tho they say you could grow within 9 mos.
