Pros

Decent amount of PTO that you can generally use. Based on the department , you can find some genuine people who care about helping you succeed. Benefits are good.

Cons

The pay is not competitive, company is getting very strict with RTO, and budgets are tight. Hearing of people getting laid off ....well being told that they have until x date to find new job or else they are fired.

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”.
