Pros

- Greenfield Advantage: The SSC is in its formative stage, offering a rare chance for top performers to influence structure, culture, and process design. - Potential for Best-in-Class Practices: With the right leadership and autonomy, there's room to build scalable, efficient, and future-ready service delivery models. - Talent Acquisition Strength: The company has attracted professionals with strong backgrounds, signaling intent to build a high-performing team.

Cons

- Leadership is resistant to change, often defaulting to “no” and citing organizational unreadiness. - Micromanagement is rampant, even among highly experienced hires. - Creativity and autonomy are discouraged; space for innovation is virtually nonexistent. - Toxic managerial behavior is tolerated, with a tendency to deflect accountability and blame victims rather than address root causes. - Productivity is measured by hours clocked, not outcomes delivered. - Attrition is high, especially among Gen Z employees, yet cultural issues are routinely ignored or minimized.

Pros

Easy work, great co workers

Cons

Too many unnecessary office employees, and management. Driver facing cameras. Childish policies. A lot of brainstorming that mostly revolves around how to blame a driver or how to take money back out of drivers pockets in favor of paying people in the office whose jobs should be consolidated or replaced. They started paying more after Covid because their hand was forced, then the big minds got together and made new policies to take more than half of that money back from the driver and people who work overtime because clearly those people aren’t smart enough to figure that out and will just take it.
