Pros

Shellpoint pays pretty good, and has good benefits. For the most part the schedule is a little flexible.

Cons

Has become a call center, the only thing that matters to Shellpoint at this moment is making sure the calls get answered, no matter if the customer gets the correct answer or not, at least the call got answered. No matter if you get any work done at least the calls weren't abandon. You literally have to work overtime to get work done. They dont train new employees well. There is no such thing as work life balance unless you dont have to answer the phone, which the pay for those positions are low. I can go on and on but dont have the time have to go clock in.

Pros

I get to work remotely. They have a good retirement plan/401K. I work autonomously with very little oversight, meaning there's no micromanaging. They are great with holidays and time off. Very inclusive and socially aware. Those are two reasons I've remained employed by them.

Cons

The salary is lower than preferred. I've worked two years with zero pay increase because "no pay increases for remoter employees". The health insurance is lacking and not fantastic, but I'm not sure that's really a con since nearly every health insurance plan in America is lacking.

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Awesome coworkers - Lots of opportunities to try new things and be innovative

Cons

- Senior leadership does not value remote workers and doesn't get to know them/engage with them - Frequently lays off remote employees, regardless of performance, achievements, or job role, sometimes without offering options to move or relocate. They also on occasion use underhanded tactics to pressure remote employees to leave so they don't have to pay out severance. Lastly, unless required by your state's law, they never pay out your remaining time off - If you start underpaid, you will remain underpaid even after promotions - Job performance does not impact yearly bonuses/increases. Pay doesn't keep up with inflation
