Pros

Wanna slack off? Easy to do here. Most people just plain do nothing and that's fine as long as you say 'great place to work' in the Gallup survey.

Cons

40% below market pay. low quality staff, focus on 'leadership competency', crazy managers, general dumbness of culture, inability to learn from talented people and general bullying

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
