Vantaggi

Flexible scheduling. Can actually choose your schedule, as long as there are 80 hours in the 2 week period. Pay is competitive for the area. If you factor in the profit sharing trust and benefits its much higher. Don't expect it to go up much though. Relatively low pressure for a call center environment.

Svantaggi

Zero upward mobility. If you are on the front lines looking to move into a management role, you need to be tapped into the "Old Girls Network", The only real mentoring opportunities are through "business resource groups" and of those the only ones with any actual activity are the Women's and Latino. White males need not apply. Management spends all their time on "projects" and very little on working with their staff. You can be absolutely incredible at your job, and nobody really will know. Be prepared for very low annual raises based of goals which have no real relevance to your day to day job. Even if you max out your review scores, % raises work out to less than half of the increase in the cost of living year to year.

Vantaggi

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Svantaggi

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
