Pros

Environment is very startup-esque with a lot of room to grow. There's a lot of good energy here, but that is mostly from your coworkers. I've had a wonderful experience working alongside these good people. They really do give their all, and that energy can be infectious. Wonderful culture amongst coworkers.

Cons

Byte has an incredibly bad habit of 'half truths'. I was hired on as an S1 for 17 an hour. Not long after, they lowered the pay for that position to 15 while still marketing it as 17. Marketed as a 'customer service' job with no sales or outbound calls required. This is a direct lie. The 'customer experience rep. position' is NOT customer service but sales. Unbalanced commission and quota structure, partnered with poor, manipulative management has led to a high turnover rate. Team leads and upper management simply do not listen, or worse, pretend their listening, and slowly attempt to change your mind and threaten you with disciplinary action even when you have met metrics if you don't comply. Communication is terrible between individual departments and there is a tremendous amount of animosity. You won't see this from their ads or from your initial few days at working here, but it's there nonetheless. Upper management constantly talks about how 'good' and 'moral' Byte is. Be VERY cautious when coming here!
