Terrible place to work

Pros

Manager and team were really nice people

Cons

0 work life balance. Everyone is extremely overworked and the company overall is constantly taking on more capacity while being extremely understaffed. The job entails a billion things that no one person/position should be responsible for, (ex: why would client services deal with billing?). The clients are emailing with issues hundreds of times a day, but you also have to problem solve while doing a bunch of other work your manager doesn’t have the time or want to deal with. It was extremely common to cry every day of this job, and everyone on my team knew we wanted to quit but were waiting for the right time or when they found another job. STAY AWAY!

Pros

There are a lot of learning resources internally. Some of the people aren't that bad

Cons

There are so MANY! First of all there was no effort into onboarding during COVID to ensure that employees had a good experience. Leadership preaches work like balance but in reality the expectation is to be available to clients at all times. When I interviewed I was told the hours were 9-5. When I started the hours became 8:30-5:30/6 but it is really 24/7 because you always have to be available to clients. The mindset is that individuals in sales should invest in themselves, therefore the company will not provide any resources to make you more efficient or productive. Every employee creates their own zoom account because the company won't provide them. Sales has to handle their own billing and collections. As a sales professional I have never been asked to handle billing and collections. I think it's absurd that sales has to spend there time collecting payments from clients. And if the client doesn't pay in time your commission takes a hit. What scares me the most is that I interacted with employees that have been working at TransPrefect since they graduated college and they don't know that companies can be run so much better than this and its a horrible work environment.
