Pros

Work from home at the moment, insurance

Cons

Micromanaging is the absolute worst at this job. I'll never forget hearing how I'll be treated as an adult who can make their own decisions and be trusted to work from 9-5pm as that is what is outlined on our contract. But it is unbelievably unrealistic. If you want a work/life balance this is not the job or company for you. Management is hired from outside places who have never worked at DoorDash or if they have not in the position. They view you as a machine not as a human, and how can you output metrics without taking lunches or breaks ever. They will tell you it is not a call center yet you are expected to COLD CALL 50 Merchants at a minimum weekly on top of case work/account management, who are not expecting your call who are in your Book of Business regardless if the Merchants time zone or job. The training is inaccurate to what the day to day truly is in this position. Our supervisors also do not want you to truthfully in a shadowing role for new hires tell them what our day to day really is. It could be seen as a negative and not productive to training, yet it is the actual job we are supposed to be teaching them. Unlimited PTO is not accurate unless you are a supervisor. In order to get any time off you have to know close to a year in advance. And forget even getting the holidays off unless again you're a supervisor. Even though you're salary you only get 40hrs of sick time which once used you get written up. The department is incredibly disorganized, micromanaged heavily, and the performance expectations are unrealistic because our "supervisors" have ZERO experience doing our job or what our job is. If you want to do cold calls, have no time off, and be micromanaged heavily, this is the job for you. Also everyone regardless of performance gets the same salary increase and for almost a year of employment was 2.8%. This job will ruin your mental health within a week of being out of new hire training.

Pros

You feel like you are changing the world, constantly in the loop with the company as a whole, and the benefits are great.

Cons

At the support center in Phoenix, the leadership there was absolutely terrible. There have been many reports of micro-aggressions towards people of color when they flag issues, even up to the director. I have directly heard of instances in which latino men/women have been labeled as "aggressive" or "rude" for simply providing feedback. Just look at the amount of turnover this place experiences. There are so many stories to tell - even down to the fact that they made us work in a building that was actively getting demolished/remodeled. We were walking around construction/paint dust for months. They truly do not care about us, and we felt that lack of concern. It took us three years to change the pay for reps, and even then we faced resistance at every turn. Unfortunately, the amazing-ness of the product and culture in the San Francisco offices is not enough to make you feel valued when everything is so much worse at the Phoenix locations. If you want proof, don't look at this review, just ask them about their absolutely horrid NPS survey scores. They made it a mission to remove any of their managers with "human-first" tendencies, and as a result their culture is absolutely toxic. I blame incompetence at the senior management/director level.

Pros

Great teammates who are always willing to help Equity stocks, Good benefits, Free DashPass

Cons

Department is too new & the leadership doesn't truly understand what we do Leaders lead by fear Driven by numbers/metrics rather than focusing on truly helping our Merchants and providing the "White Glove Service" Constant new responsibilities being added on without any concern or understanding of work/life balance Leaders do not understand that there is a difference in the responsibilities for MXPs in Managed versus SMB Lack of communication - roll out new processes or programs without notice and then claim that it was a mistake Lack of explaining the "why" behind decisions Unlimited PTO is really not unlimited - the department has limits as well as some Supervisors run their team's requests different than others No consistency in first line leadership across the department Micromanagement at a whole new level Although the position is a Salary position - it is not eligible for the same benefits of other Salaried positions throughout the company Training is inadequate and there is no continuous and effective training for all new programs and processes dropped on MXPs plates
