Pros

- You work with great people. I met some very smart very wonderful folks especially in CR. I genuinely miss working with lots of the folks I worked with and generally everyone you meet is kind, helpful, and positive to work with. - The obvious pros of remote work, I was always caught up on laundry, no commute, etc. Especially if you have a good boss, there's lots of flexibility and understanding for things like appointments, going out on a quick walk, etc. - If you can find yourself with a bit of luck and getting assigned clients who have money to play with, you can actually make some good money in spurts through commissions on upsells. This is as much about luck as it is skills though. In my years I had really great quarters and bone dry ones and it all felt like if I just happened to get clients who needed more and could pay for it. - You learn a lot in this role. You solve real problems and work with all different kinds of people and businesses, so the experience is great. As noted below, I think it's because you're thrown into too much and told to figure it out, but if you can figure it out, you gain good experience.

Cons

- The CSC role in particular was just incredibly under-resourced. The portfolio size per person is quite large, and you're generally just expected to handle everything. (In my time there I only had 2 situations where a situations was deemed adequate to escalate to a manager.) You sit in the line of fire in this CSC role, if someone doesn't like a policy of ours, or they feel like they were sold something that we haven't provided, it's all on the CSC to take that on the chin, and that can make the job very emotionally taxing. - It can be a very rah-rah culture, and it borders on forced/false positivity very often. One time at a all company conference, someone brought up a legitimate challenge and one of the C-suite individuals got up and instead of addressing it said "times like this I remind myself this is something we GET to do, not HAVE to do" which felt very tone deaf in that moment. - At a base level, there's not a ton of opportunity for advancement. This is made even more difficult if you don't endear yourself to the right people. It's not enough to be good at your job, you've gotta play the game. - Incredible amount of attrition both within the department and department leadership made it really hard for things to feel stable. Limited development opportunity with this environment. - As noted on basically all the other reviews, the pay really isn't competitive.

Pros

Remote Home Office Opportunity to support clients Friendly coworkers who genuinely want to help one another

Cons

Leadership lacked clear communication and consistent direction. Training and onboarding were disorganized, making it difficult to understand expectations. Frequent changes in priorities and processes created unnecessary confusion. Employees were often evaluated on expectations that had not been clearly communicated. Departments did not always appear to be aligned, resulting in inconsistent guidance and decision-making. Attempting to get help was often frustrating, as employees frequently seemed just as confused. Emails and support tickets sometimes took a week or longer to receive a response.
