Pros

decent benefits, collaborative employee base (the training group I started with literally connected together and bonded over the trauma of working here lmao)

Cons

account managers are spread far to thin for the work they are supposed to do. you spend less time "managing" the accounts assigned to you, and play call center rep due to the insane volume of calls/emails from yours and other AM's accounts. it's getting paid to get yelled at for 8 hours a day (if not more.) this is all on top of being micromanaged to death. you'll hear success stories from management about how much money the company makes, and how happy other departments are, while AM's drown in the workload. this is what leads to employee burnout and high turnover.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
