Pros

- The culture with people in the design community are really some of the most wonderful people you'll ever meet. It's like a family. - There is...ok work /life balance

Cons

- The pay is way below market average - Lots of bureaucracy and red tape, more so than any other company - Lots of posturing from managers and senior managers, meaning it's extremely hierarchal - No job advancement, unless someone leaves, and even then, you have to APPLY to the next role, not because you deserved it, but because you have to show them that you want it more than any external applicants - The organization claims it cares about UX (user experience), but everything that you see shows that all the head honchos really care about is selling selling selling. So everything is all about marketing and advertising. They're not focused on making their products better, or listening to user feedback. They more focused on getting more people in the door to offer them a mediocre product, when their competitors are vastly outpacing them.

Pros

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
