Pros

-Free lunch on Tuesdays/Thursdays/Weekends -The people who work there are cool. -Opportunities for advancement within the company before hiring from outside That's a nice perk. -Benefits Eligible Day 1. -There are free snacks.

Cons

-You are promised false promises before even starting there. You are promised reviews every 90 days with possibility of a raise at that period. Instead, reviews are every 6 months. They also pay less than the rest of the market, and expect people to work harder. -"Unlimited PTO" is worse than just having 2 or 3 weeks a year. If you request a holiday off months in advance, forget it. If you need a day off here or there, they force you to find coverage even though they are management and know everybody's schedules. Also, management picks favorites and allows others to take multiple weeks off a year while others struggle to get any time off whatsoever. -Management picks favorites. Be prepare to have this happen. They treat everyone differently, and constantly micromanage. I constantly felt like I was being targeted by management. -This job is essentially a glorified call center. You do not get paid enough to deal with angry clients, clueless drivers, and agents that can't follow directions. Everything you do at this company also has to do with your phone metrics. If you are getting blasted via call, they expect you to handle that, there is literally no time to breathe. Raises/Promotions are determined based off phone calls, not actual performance (Coming in early, staying late, coming in on days off, etc.) -Management claims they care about you and work life balance, but if you have a medical issue or have a family member with a medical issue, they will tell you to your face that work matters more than life or family. -New people get priority on the good schedules, while the company veterans get cast aside and get the schedules that no one else wants, unless management likes you. You are severely underpaid for the jobs you have to do, and the amount of stress you accumulate. Most people are relieved to leave for the day, and overall while the people who work there are great, so many are blindly loyal to management. If you speak up about management and feel like you're being treated unfairly, they will fire you. BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST!

Pros

- The company's transparency is excellent, frequent all hands meetings, regular slack updates with all the numbers of how things are going, access to execs if you ever needed anything. - Good benefits (not the best I ever had, but very respectable) - The people and company are very causal. Ive never had to worry about politics here which is great. - Good work life balance. Unlimited PTO has never been restrictive to me. Plenty of holidays. No insane deadlines for working late.

Cons

like everywhere, there has been layoffs in the last couple of years. Culture has shifted to be a bit quieter as a result.

Pros

Nick Bulcao is amazing. He really has a great vision. Amazing team in Operations who tries their best despite the ridiculous metrics they have to meet, many great friendships formed. Overtime is provided but if you’re one of the only ones that takes it, you will get taken advantage of and find yourself with a very unhealthy work/life balance.

Cons

Upper upper management in operations once above the “manager” level is awful. A few in particular. They push and push for more but don’t want to listen to feedback or their leadership team that works on the frontlines suggestions and advice. They don’t talk respectfully to the ones under them and then expect the team to break their backs. Constant changes of supervisors and managers and processes so don’t get used to anything.
