      Mixed feelings

      Pros

      Great training experience and new hire first manager. Great communication and open door experience.

      Cons

      Onboarding and communication was a nightmare and they continually dropped the ball. The PTO accrues as you go if you do not have it you cannot use which is very odd compared to most large corporations. My second manager offered no guidance or communication for the first month and a half. That was promised regarding performance and when you’re not in an office setting and you have no interaction you need some type of communication.

      Good benefits but misguided attempts at repairing the overwhelming amount of problems with the work environment

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and overtime isn’t required (unless you’re on a call that runs over your clock out time unfortunately cause this is very much a call center position). The benefits are the only reason for my stars honestly

      Cons

      Wow where do I begin. Burn out will absolutely happen especially with the amount of unprofessional advisors you have conversations with all while keeping a smile on your face cause QA will come after you otherwise. I will add that they are ~trying~ with their new system where you can report unprofessional advisors (which already says a lot) but believe me they are swayed in favor of advisors and it has to go to everyone’s supervisor before they even care about it. Let’s talk about QA though, the metrics are endless and they will nitpick until the cows come home. Moving on to the training. It will be rushed and you will be held responsible for knowing all of the information by unreasonable and inpatient advisors. You will be thrown to wolves essentially. This will not bode well for you, the advisors, or the tenured folks in service (if they’re still there). I’ll end here but there’s plenty of opportunities for improvement here.

      Good luck getting a good manager

      Pros

      Compensation is good and benefits are good (think of it as hazard pay). There are some good managers (and a lot of bad managers).

      Cons

      There are many bad managers. The company advertises meaningful core values but most managers do not actually practice these values.
