Pros

Strong work–life balance. Most teams respect boundaries, and workloads are generally manageable without excessive overtime. Talented colleagues. Many employees are dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely want to do good work. Opportunities to contribute. When leadership empowers teams, there’s room to solve problems and improve processes.

Cons

Return‑to‑office policy feels misaligned with job realities. Several roles that do not require in‑person collaboration were still mandated back on‑site, creating unnecessary disruption without clear business benefit. Health insurance costs are surprisingly high. For a company of this size, the premiums and out‑of‑pocket expenses are significantly steeper than expected, which impacts employees and their families. Top‑down decision‑making. Many strategic choices from the C‑suite feel disconnected from day‑to‑day operations, leading to inefficiencies and frustration at the team level. Communication gaps. Changes are often rolled out with limited context, leaving employees to interpret the rationale on their own.

Pros

The pay was very good since it was dependent on your performance

Cons

Back to back calls. Back office makes mistakes then expects customer service to handle the back lash from customers. Lay offs
