Pros

There were a lot of amazing people who were passionate about the things they were doing.

Cons

Your rate does not reflect your workload. The benefits do not cover the fact that you can be doing a job meant for 5 people and still be compensated the same. They will bombard you with team spirit and all those colorful things to mask that they care more about their clients than their employees. Ultimately, you are just another dispensable employee that they will try to get rid of once it does not benefit them anymore. Most policies, if not all, benefit the higher-ups, more than they benefit you as an employee, no matter how amazing they make it sound. All in all, it was a very traumatizing experience for me because the management and executives gaslighted you whenever you "approach directly". A lot of toxic positivity and broken promises get exhausting and compromise you and your well-being. Run. If you love your mental health enough.

Pros

Pay was good, simple and fast sale, Tons of inbound. Too good to be true…

Cons

Little training or organization. As a new hire was able to do really well in a short period of time but was part of mass lay off 6 days before Christmas. Layoff was handled terribly. Still waiting to get reimbursed for shipping cost for returning company equipment. I regret applying here and it really screwed up my life. The leadership is both incompetent and cruel.
