Pros

The majority of co-workers are hard-working and dedicated to achieving results.

Cons

The executive leadership constantly harps on the 7 unifiying principles but never puts them in to practice when it comes to the customers or employees. While constantly espousing the principle of fairness, the company has consistently cut salary, health benefits, and time-off to placate the shareholders but which has left a negative atmosphere as it relates employee satisfaction. Business decisions that impact the customer - promotions, IVR, customer experience are exclusively based on the short-term initial costs without any forward looking residual impacts and expenses.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
