Great pay and culture, but poor office setup and benefits

Sr. strategic growth manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay, great work environment, amazing culture.

Cons

They require you to be in-office 5 days/week, and they do not provide you with a very comfortable setup or a designated workstation for that matter. You end up working entirely off of a laptop screen, and making hundreds of calls within small cramped call booths. In addition, there is basically no benefits whatsoever. They took basically everything away from the staff and invested all of it into the agents/customers.

Business Outlook

Pros

CEO vision is ambitious Decent salary for a mindless job

Cons

CEO places little to zero value in broader group of employees. As was seen in the way they dealt with layoffs during COVID. Lower level leadership is hit or miss, some are clueless Fake culture. At least while it was remote. Lower level leadership talk about their direct reports behind their backs amongst themselves. Be better, say it upfront and if your employees are coachable they will produce better results Zero growth opportunities and managers do not care about personal development.
