Pros

Opportunities for growth do exist, despite what many people think, but (like at most companies) you need to 1. show your worth 2. have a good relationship with your boss 3. make it happen yourself New owners could be good for the company's overall management and strategy Flexible work hours + work from home options when needed Some good people remain (though far, far fewer since prior to 2015) SAAS product shows promising future (GlassPanel), maybe even enough to counter the shrinking lead gen core business

Cons

Management made big decisions for short term gain, which will be tough to overcome in the next several quarters. Enrollment data will shape up in 30-120 days to lead to further unhappy clients, less or no growth, etc. New owners were fed a pretty version of what EDDY really is now. May be in for a very rough awakening in 2016. Everyone is a Director and titles are being thrown around with little/no meaning (i.e. Director who have no direct reports, lowest level workers being pushed to do the work of 3-4 people with little or no reward) No one is accountable. Whenever something goes wrong, everyone points the finger and tries to save their own behinds. Culture used to be more team oriented. They may say they are team oriented, but real decisions are fueled by personal gain especially. There are plenty of reasons why dozens of people have left EDDY in Q3/Q4 of 2015...

Pros

Weekly pay, not many meetings.

Cons

They suddenly dropped company sponsored heathcare (they use the marketplace now which is unaffordable and covers virtually nothing) and they no longer contribute to the 401k!!! The worst! Extreme micromanagement of words like YOU and WE because it’s seen as “promising language”. Example…if you’re telling someone “you can apply” you have to say “STUDENTS can apply” or else you’re promising and how dare you!! This results in low score cards because it’s hard to talk to someone in third person!! They use AI to catch these words you say to find little mistakes so they can give you a low score cards! You’re being watched ALL the time! The dialer is constant! You can’t get up because you’re tied to your headset and can’t use a wireless one because it’s forbidden. They even screen record to make sure you’re hard wired to the modem so don’t even think about going to work remotely somewhere besides being tied directly your modem! They say it’s because the connection is better but we know how wireless works and that’s simply not true.
