Pros

Benefits were reliable though expensive. Convenient to work from home. Some of the accounts are actually fun to work and have good people and products,

Cons

Horrible pay, it's demeaning and devaluing the low raises you will get . They do not value you. People with years of experience, reliable, and do a great job. They do not treat you as a person. You are a metric. It is depressing, discouraging. They talk to you like you are a three year old and though they say they have an open door policy they don't. Manager told us not to ask about when we will get commission or how much. We lived off that as the base pay was so low and unlivable. I also asked several times for a higher increase when advising it was an unlivable raise. was told. "go get a second job if you want to make more" and "no one is perfect" but gave no feed back as to how to do better because they said I was already doing very well.. ???? Then why such low raises? I asked for a face to face meeting after I got one low raise, I was told , they couldn't afford to take me off the phones for that.

Pros

Work/life balance is consistent. PTO is quickly accrued (per hour accumulation), 401K is competitively invested, Insurance options available. Team Leads, Supervisors and Managers are very supportive and training is paid for. Occasional contests, spiffs and fun stuff for the teams.

Cons

Audits weekly (although there is a wide margin of learning opportunity. They understand you have to get with the flow). 3 weeks minimum needed to request PTO, (we get our schedules about 3 weeks in advance, so makes sense).

Pros

Remote is the only pro two of my managers were great but the last one I had was not.

Cons

Management was very unprofessional at my last month there. There was no room to grow or move up and no pay raises as they moved you from account to account. I did ask my manager how i could improve my raises and the only response was post more in teams chat. - NO room for growth very little pay for what you do. The third issue would be my last manager at the end. She first stated she was just out of training to be a manager when she in fact was not out of training to which she confessed and probably forgot at the end of my time here. The fourth would be that holidays you have to use your PTO.
