Pros

Your boss is never harsh with you.

Cons

What they will tell you is, is there is a lot of email you will be answering. But what they won't tell you is this is basically your job. You will take verbal abuse from sales and management through 200 or so emails per day. You can report them to your manager but nothing will be done. And if you say anything in response, even if its a please and thank you to sales, you will be in the HR office being written up. You are also expected to work a minimum 50 hours per week. And you will work at least that many hours per week due to the system AX2012 being set up incorrectly and the amount of customer service/AP work you will be doing for them. I beg you only take this job if it is the LAST chance for employment you have, and don't take anything less than 57,000 to start.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
