Toxic cult-like nightmare – run far away

Recommend

Pros

• Benefits are okay, but not worth your sanity. • A few coworkers are decent people just trying to survive.

Cons

This place is a straight-up cult. The DEI obsession is insane. Endless emails, speeches, forced clapping sessions — everyone stands up and pretends to agree or you’re punished. It’s brainwashing, drink-the-Kool-Aid level toxic. • Training is a complete joke. They ask for your feedback just to twist it against you later. Nothing is ever clear, everything is vague, and the “support” is nonexistent. • Micromanagement here is off the charts. They literally monitor your bathroom breaks, posture (“slouching”), and every tiny move like you’re in prison. It’s a cage and you’re treated like property, not a person. • Outdated systems that belong in a museum. Symitar is glitchy and worthless, the TCR machines are broken half the time, and they just throw you in with no real training. • Management is silent and useless. Zero communication, zero engagement, zero leadership. They don’t care about you, only about protecting their fake “perfect culture” image. • It’s worse than the military. At least in the military you know what the rules are. Here it’s false hope, fake smiles, and glitter over rot. • You’re underpaid, there’s no commission, no incentive, and no encouragement to be yourself. Step out of line even a little and you’re gone. No notice, no explanation — just “at will” and goodbye.

Pros

Free medical, dental and vision l. All federal holidays paid off. No work on Sunday.

Cons

Outdated CEO doesn’t want employees to Work from home only offering option because of pandemic. 3% raise and starting pay is $17 hr for a inbound call center only ten second break between calls. Never enough employees. We’re always busy.
