Pros

The company hires mostly great people. The reason I've stuck around so long is because I love my coworkers. The offices are also really nice and they do provide a lot of snacks and drinks.

Cons

- TONS of Mandatory OT. It's now the end of June and we have been required to do mandatory OT since March. It started out as 10 extra hours per week for 2 months. Then they decreased it to 5. Now they are taking away half of our lunch time. They can't properly staff to keep up with growth. - Training has taken a huge plummet in quality. Advocates aren't properly trained any more. - They will force you to move departments without a choice or completely change your responsibilities. - They expect you to take on extra responsibility and tasks in order to show that you want to grow in the company, but they will milk you until you're dry without every getting a promotion or raise. - Management pretends to listen to our concerns, but never apply our feedback to solutions. - The company culture and overall happiness is nonexistent anymore, compared to when I first started. Mandatory OT and drastic, sudden changes have made the majority of the tenured employees here highly unhappy and frustrated. - The company does not know how to staff properly, so on top of forced OT, we are constantly drowning in our workload. People have to stay past business hours on top of their OT to clear call queues and clear case loads. They take from other departments to account for staffing else where, but that impacts the department they took from. It's miserable.

Pros

Monday - friday most times, decent pay, great Health and Medical benefits package, Paid time off, employee car purchase discount

Cons

Random mandatory overtime, some days 6am - 6pm, no flexibility with schedule at all! Tardiness and attendance program is insane. No grace period at all, if you are 1 minute late you get half a point, if you are more than 2 hours late a full point. You only get 6 points and your fired. Poor management and random line leads come to your department that have no clue on what's going on. There are too false promises and it is hard to get out of or advance from the positon you are hired in. No sick or personal days just paid time off but once you use them up, that's it. "15 minutes a car policy" and carvana runs about 60 cars a day or more that are indpected. Very fast paced and repetitive.

Pros

-they have a great kitchen, coffee machines, espresso, and snacks always stocked -great cleaning crew! -there is an outside patio during the cool months -unlimited overtime -great healthcare, dental, and vision -the office is typically clean -potlucks

Cons

-no sick days: you must use paid vacation time -mandatory overtime, mandatory 10 hour days with lunches cut to 30 minutes without an option -unfair hiring level/pay scale for amount of work produced -little to no personal space -it has become a call center - no matter what anyone tells you. Please keep this in mind -advocates are treated as lesser emyoloyees than all other departments -constantly given the excuse, "but we are a startup..so that's normal.." to any question like, "why don't we have a break?" -Seniors tend to talk down to all other advocates, roll their eyes when they walk away, etc -very childish environment full of new college grads who are involved in gossip and shaming
