Vantaggi

Benefits (unlimited vacation and sick time, ability to work remotely if need be)

Svantaggi

-Not enough time in the day to be both a thorough support specialist that SFTC, and gain skills in a specialized area -Most reps work 9 hours a day and are praised for working over time, despite minimum pay. working overtime seems to imply you are better (from a peer to peer standpoint, and manager to employee) -Inappropriate to set a metric for "tickets" as opposed to "customers" at such a high number. I think you would solve for a lot of issues if you hired and trained your support reps in certain areas of the product-- you are doing a disservice to both your support rep and your customer (not setting up anyone for success) -This role should not be advertised as a way to get somewhere. you need to start hiring people that absolutely love to troubleshoot software--you also need to be way more transparent about the types of troubleshooting that is going to be "encouraged" (namely, writing HTML and CSS. This is a huge skill, learning a language... not something to be excluded from a job description or even the interview) -Speaking of "encouraged" troubleshooting... It needs to be way more obvious what a support rep should be responsible for doing. This expectation should begin when the customer purchases the product---and also, make this way more clear during training -Your wiki is disorganized and impossible to find anything relevant, including your Knowledgebase. Noone can find anything in these places by just searching a subject; Google seems to be the solution. Please organize your resources. -Your "culture" consists of primarily white people

Ouch, tough one to read. We are doing a lot of work with Support leadership right now to achieve a few important things: 1) Great clarity internally and externally on what Support folks can expect daily in the role so there is alignment of expectations from the start 2) Better ways to use automation not just to help our customers succeed with self-service and in-app support but also to empower our Support reps to find answers they need quickly, and 3) Thinking of customer success more broadly, including customer NPS in Support but also including a deeper partnership with the product team to empower joint responsibility across our teams on customer happiness. My hope is that those things will help address some of the concerns you outlined in your review. Regardless of how hard they are to read, I appreciate your candor and feedback in helping us grow better as an organization. Sincerely, Katie

Vantaggi

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Svantaggi

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
