Pros

Perks and Benefits, some smart people.

Cons

Job is not satisfying. The product is awful and embarrassing. The company's data on individuals is inaccurate and the purchase flows are deceiving. All the customers hate the product and end up cancelling their subscription (High Churn Rate). There are plenty of fake reviews on this page. When I worked at Spokeo, the management team asked me to write a positive review for the company. I declined to say the least.

Pros

I worked on the email team a millennia ago, not sure if it still exists today. It was a fun job not answering calls. Very small biannual raises, maybe a quarter or two increase an hour. They reward seniority and tenure. Actually, it's one of the reasons why I left, couldn't stomach seeing some of the leadership day-in-day-out. One of the team leads couldn't contain his energy whenever he was provided attractive female customer service agents to supervise, tried to put on alpha-ish displays and wore small tight shirts. Kind of created a weird aggro morale for his team, even promoted several times up to executive office for some reason. BUT thankfully, my coworkers were awesome!! This was definitely a temporary job for someone in between careers, there were lots of unique personalities, lots of snacks, company events, so I'd say the morale team (yes one of those existed) did a pretty good job.

Cons

Whoops, just read the above
