Good Until it Wasn't

Pros

Work from home for all back office staff, very reasonable health insurance plan, and some fun perks - Christmas party, opportunity for free tickets to events, and 6 month bonuses (although these are tied to stock price - do NOT let them tell you these are a part of your compensation, they can't be relied on)

Cons

Income does not keep up with inflation, and if you are a hard worker and overachiever you will be taken advantage of. While there are ERGs, they are brand new and many regional management teams are incredibly anti-diversity and inclusion. While there are wonderful individuals here, it is an incredibly conservative field and a bit behind the times overall. Use incredible caution if you are disabled, LGBTQ, or a young professional. HR as a whole is very unlikely to assist you. If you are unfairly or erroneously placed on a performance improvement plan, there is no recourse for clearing your name.

Good mix of calls ranging from easy balance updates to complex issues. Good resources/assistance for the wide range of calls

Cons

High call volume, prepare for little to no time between calls Required to fill out huge amount of emails, usually 1 or more per call; but discouraged from filling out emails after the call.
