Pros

Most employees I worked directly with were very talented and easy to collaborate with.

Cons

- Announcing layoffs to a significant number of staff will happen sometime within a two month period leaving employees to fear coming to work daily. - The company is losing millions per quarter and the reason always seems to be the support staff not working hard enough for agents. - Never being able to say no to agents and being treated like garbage by all agents because that is the tone set on how to interact with staff from the CEO down. - 4 rounds of layoffs in 3 years - Asking employees to sacrifice for leadership and agents short comings financially including temporary pay cuts, guarantee of no raises or bonus, benefits slashed completely costing employees hundreds of dollars per month. - Leaking emails and fear mongering about job security among employees - Work is continually being offloaded to contractors overseas for lower rates and longer hours which employees state side can’t compete with. Employees are being gaslit when training these employees being told they won’t be replacing them only to be laid off weeks later.

Pros

-Fantastic and collaborative colleagues, many of which are severely overworked and substantially underpaid

Cons

-Several agents are bullies and the louder they complain, the more they get what they want. It is all a money game and the agents know exactly who to manipulate in order to get what they want (usually the SGM's, who have no insight into how the actual work is done from the supporting teams) -Performance reviews are a popularity contest and require a lot of work, with no factual data to support claims as there are no automated systems to track anything -Most managers are self-serving and are not true leaders; they only care about getting themselves ahead and leave their hardworking teams in the dust

Pros

Fairly high salaries, smart people, professional environment

Cons

Very CEO focused (he always knows best) a YES PEOPLE culture, super corporate, a little bit of a toxic environment, culture feels bigger than it is - very much not a startup vibe, very hierarchical. Don't get me wrong, professionally, it's a strong company, but the culture may not fit everyone.
