Pros

Flexible schedules can be accommodated. Great culture, but people that truly own it are far and few. The winter season company-wide holiday is the one time that everyone seems to embody the culture and values. Benefit plans very affordable, but changes in 2025 have caused a shift to a new insurance provider that won't cover certain medications.

Cons

The culture /can/ be great, but is either used as toxic positivity or overlooked entirely. In this, I mean that you will be spoken with if you do not have the right attitude, or given a motivational story to think on so you can embrace the culture. Or, when the queues get overloaded, it means getting called out for not being in a phone or chat channel while working on an urgent case. To piggyback off of that, coaches will tell you to not use after-call work, but team leads will encourage you to. It feels like coaches and front-line leads are not on the same page. Employees are encouraged to pass-off work to previous case owners instead of taking over the case when it is difficult or needs further review. In multiple scenarios, cases I hadn't been able to work on due to being out-of-office were redirected back to my queue instead of worked on in a timely manner. Where is the drive to "Do the right thing" or "Lead from where you are"? The queue I worked in was supposed to be split evenly between chats, phones, and email, but the position is definitely 99%phone based unless you have enough phone cases to justify giving you chat time. Lack of support is another con. Most times, questions from leads wouldn't be answered in a timely manner even if on the phone with an escalated client. No support for disabilities until federally responsible to. The handbook guidelines are very vague. Very little transparency all around.

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
