      Decent Workplace with Room for Improvement

      Operations associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent work-life balance: It's your own boundary to set, but no one gives out their personal information for work purposes. It seems like you can absolutely turn off your computer after hours and have real peace. Inclusive Environment: I felt very welcome and safe. Supportive Supervisor: My supervisor had my back when dealing with difficult members/customers. Office Space: Having my own space was a plus, and some cubicles had amazing views. The building itself is aesthetically pleasing and pleasant to work in. Friendly Atmosphere: Everyone was kind and willing to help. Benefits: They offer solid health and dental insurance. Gym is available. Shuttles are offered if you commute into the train stations.

      Cons

      Restrictive Schedule: The requirement of 3 days on-site (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) felt unnecessary, especially when the job could be done entirely from home. Challenging Interactions: Members of organizations could be aggressive and unnecessarily rude. Overworked Employees: Many employees seemed overburdened with too many commitments. You may have to work on more than one client at a time, which can be difficult considering you will have two supervisors who may not know what workload they are giving you in total. Low Entry-Level Pay: The starting salary for entry-level positions was NOT competitive, particularly given the exhausting nature of the work (starting at 42-45k). IT Responsiveness: IT can be VERY slow to respond to inquiries. Best to just show up personally. "Quick to Promote" Structure: While they boast about rapid promotions, it felt like a way to avoid paying employees their true worth. Lengthy Training: Training took months, which was frustrating, especially when much of the content was repetitive from previous job experiences. No Vision Insurance: Unfortunately, they do not provide vision insurance, which could be a drawback considering its affordability.
