Pros

Great health care benefits, very generous PTO/ maternity/ paternity leave

Cons

The company says that they want people to share their opinions and voice concerns when they see things that are going wrong. However, if you are female and do so, you will get a reputation as being "unprofessional", "shrill", "not a team player", etc, and it will hold you back in your career. Being outspoken and female will ensure that you do not get promoted and that your managers will sabotage any effort for you to move forward in the company.

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”.
