Pros

Paid training, and the training also paid for you to move.

Cons

Rude, demeaning managers and colleagues. Not much upward climb…what I viewed as “good” pay was no where near industry standards. A kind of job you’d be stuck with for life, and the kind of job average people do work for life. They treat all employees as numbers and expect you to do whatever they say including move across the country in the snap of a finger. They also want you to get used to being at work by 6am, this place is a joke! Can’t believe I started here with a 4 year college degree. I hope someone looks at this and chooses another path that does not waste their time like this place did. By the way I trained in Seattle and with an old man who retired as our training class graduated. I can’t remember his name but he was such an A Hole. It’s hilarious to me now that I’m incredibly successful actually using my marketing degree. What a shameful company I barely even hit the tip of the iceberg with this review. So much more to say.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
