Value profits and technology over employees

Business Outlook

Pros

They value frequent job hopping

Cons

They regularly downsize to protect profits and value technology over employees. Instead of reducing expenses by cutting back on endorsement deals with celebrities or other ways that wouldn't involve multiple rounds of lay-offs there's just round after round after round of more jobs eliminated and each time it's said it's due to advancing technology to improve the member's experience, making things more automated and to reduce expenses.

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a really nice building and some excellent coworkers.

Cons

Management bullies and micromanages people out of their jobs rather than developing their talents and respecting their expertise. Prepare to be billed quite heavily upon resignation as I lost a lot more of my 401K than anticipated and got a bill to boot. Underpaid and overworked while being treated as disposable like any other call center with changes all the time. The open door policy is a joke-it doesn't work at all.

Pros

A lot good coworkers and good people. Benefits are decent.

Cons

Raleigh loc is understaffed and has progressively gotten worse. Definitely a lot of brain drain. Tons of people have left and it's often been the better employees.
