Pluspunten

The laid back atmosphere, casual dress code, employee discounts. The thing with this setup is that it is pretty interchangeable with any other customer service job. The moderate pay and laid back atmosphere may or may not reflect the reality that the company knows that they aren't changing their employees' lives with what they offer so why pester them too much. If you've got bills to pay, hopefully this is supplemental income or you are a student that goes to school when you are not at work. Otherwise, this is only good to hold you over until something better comes along-although it doesn't have to be too bad while you are there. So it's up to you to make it as good as it can be while you are there.

Minpunten

The growing pains of a startup, supervisors and managers that do little to nothing to make you feel encouraged and marginal pay. After a while it gets repetitive and uninteresting, but again, it is what you make it so find ways to keep yourself engaged. In theory, their setup should be quite good, but you will spends your days plugging up the leaks. This is the nature of customer service with this company so don't focus on how poorly things run at times. Just be helpful to the customers. Other than that, promotions offer very minor increases, but much more responsibility.

Pluspunten

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Minpunten

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
