Pros

Enova is a great place to work with awesome opportunities and and an emphasis on growing and developing employees. It's a young and hungry culture, filled with ambitious & intelligent go-getters. Most of the people I work with are dedicated and really want to see themselves and the company succeed. Enova also allows people to work in small, focused teams which helps dispel the feeling of a big, bureaucratic company. Regarding the culture, everyone I've come across here is extremely friendly and willing to help out. The meritocracy is evident through Enova's values, which most agree are actually manifested every day. You're encouraged to speak up about your thoughts and opinions, and your ideas are heard by management. There's several programs in place to assist employee development, like the "enovation tank," and other cool learning opportunities. Flexible hours are encouraged; some people regularly get into to work around 10/10:30, which is a very nice perk. Moving around is also available, if you're unhappy in your current role or want a new experience. Several individuals started out doing something different than their current role. Unlike some other companies I've worked for in the past, management leads by example. They push you very hard, but they want to you learn and grow, so it's worth it. They place a ton value on emotional intelligence/communication skills, so it's not just hard numbers when it comes to your performance. Management is very transparent, and is always there if you have a question or need help. Compensation is also very competitive, and you're definitely rewarded for hard work. In my experience, it's not as difficult to make your voice heard here, as it is for other companies. Free lunches, happy hours, a stocked kitchen/fridge, and other perks are all great additions to the benefit repertoire. Finally, I'd like to address the negative call center reviews on here (which I feel are completely unwarranted). I'd like to point out that the work environment, total compensation, and experience is much, much better that most call centers you'd find elsewhere.

Cons

While the benefits are great, they tend to be exaggerated. Free breakfast on Monday (enormous line out the door, not enough for everyone), massages (only if you sign up in the first minute, otherwise they're full), and the PTO is pretty weak, among other things. I also felt a lack of understating of certain processes/tools inhibited my ability to perform well. An example would be SQL databases, which are used a lot, and are critical to your work. A lot of what you're going to be doing is self-taught, which takes time away from you other work. Depending on what team you're on, it can be difficult to move up. Under staffing on critical teams can cause projects to get delayed. Seems like management is fixing this problem, but for a huge company it always feels so resource constrained. I think one of the biggest problems that people have at Enova is that you can have an entirely different experience here that someone who sits across from you who's on a different brand/P&L. While there are similarities between teams and people generally feel a certain level of cohesiveness at the company, there's enough variance where one P&L/team can feel like an entirely different company than another.

Pros

Wonderful team and work environment. They have a bullet proof system going that you can tell management took time and learned from lots of feedback. Many young successful reps working 10+ years. Inspiring.

Pros

NONE AT ALL. Not even remote work.

Cons

I worked for them for over a year. It’s absolutely horrible. This company should be considered so illegal. They are MAJOR micromanagers to an extreme level. You work taking phone calls and if you switch off the “queue” to stop taking phone calls, for 5 min, they will message you asking why you aren’t working, even if you are working like leaving notes on a customers account. They also make this affect your stats and metrics which they use to keep you in place also use it as an excuse to give you smaller bonuses. Getting a raise? Forget about it. There’s no chance at all they majorly play favorites. They will give you empty promises and lead you on for any raise or even moving departments. They also DO NOT care how you’re treated by anyone, they’re so worried about their money that their employees don’t mean anything. They will allow customers to say the most horrid things to you 500 times and they don’t care to do anything, you’re also not allowed to stand up for yourself in anyway. You just have to sit there and take it. No matter what you do in your day working here, it is never good enough. You will always be told well this can be so much better why can’t you just do it this way. Also don’t expect any help from any managers. If you ask a simple question, they respond either 3 ways - 1. They respond with a completely different process that has nothing to do with what you’re asking. 2. They simply don’t answer at all. 3. They half answer because they’re lazy There are multiple things managers are supposed to take over to do with a customer but they will not just so they don’t have to take a phone call. They will simply tell you to “tell the customer go online or call back good luck” Every call is graded. A few here and they’re by actual humans but all calls by AI - this is how they get your “metrics” the AI system they use is horrible. You could take 2 phone calls and use the same exact words and conversations and the AI system will grade one perfect and the other it will say you did “poor” and give you 0’s on metrics they grade on. That affects your bound if you’re lucky enough to even get one. They also require you to do a call closing, if a customer hangs up before you can even say it, you get graded a 0 no matter what. And yes that also affects your bonus. This job isn’t based on just you. They want you to worry about your co workers stats. So if your co workers don’t do good enough that also affects YOUR bonus. When it comes to time off, they’ll give you PTO, UTO (unpaid time off). Then they give you “My time” and “My time unplanned” - for the year. Now if you use your benefit time to 0 - which in my case I did due to severe illness, NEVER used it for the purpose of just because I wanted to. If you hit 0 they start giving you attendance points. Yeah you heard me. You, a grown adult, taking time off for anything no matter how serious, attendance points. Even if you tell them months in advance. I NEVER gave them 2 weeks or less of a notice and they will still give you points for it. If you hit 5 it’s a written, if you hit 6 it’s a final / termination. Also using the UTO will give you points so what’s the point of that?? I should also add - they will give you written warnings for any metrics not being good enough. I was given one for one metric being 2% below. 2%. Which also affects your bonuses. This company will do ANYTHING not to pay you While there was some pleasant customers, majority of the people calling in were absolutely disgusting. Working this job the people you think you’re there to help will treat you like scum of the earth. They say the worst things I’ve ever heard. After a call like this they don’t give you a few minutes to compose yourself, they give you 30 seconds before the next call. When this happens, the company turns their heads they won’t defend you in anyway. While the higher ups sit in their cushy chairs doing fake work all day and making twice the amount you do, you get the short end of the stick for crappy pay. When I hit my 1 year anniversary they did not make it about me. No raise, no personal congratulations, no swag, NOTHING. Not even a gift card. Instead they sent me a message that said “As a tenured Enova team member, your opinion on Enova means a lot. In conjunction with your Enoversary, would you consider writing a public review to give candidates better insight into what it's like to work at Enova?” Yep. They really said congrats on 1 year now write us a review about how great we are This company will not listen to anything you have to say. They do not care about you. They do not want to see you grow. This place WILL ruin your mental health. You WILL dread the thought of working every day and you will hate your life. I left as soon as I could. If I were you I’d AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER!!!!! If I could say one thing to the higher up people who make the rules - IF YOU DONT WORK THE PHONES, STOP PUTTING CERTAIN THINGS IN PLACE YOU THINK IS HELPFUL. YOU HAVE PROBABLY NEVER TAKEN A CALL IN YOUR LIFE SO PLEASE FOR ALL YOUR FUTURE EMPLOYEES STOP MAKING THE JOB SO HARD!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EASY, ITS THE STUPID METRICS AND RULES YOU PUT IN PLACE THAT MAKE IT ALL IMPOSSIBLE. You make it so your employees are screwed if they do, screwed if they don’t.
