Pros

Cool Managers, Free Gym, New Office, Foot in the door

Cons

This company clearly has favorites. If you look at all the 4+ star reviews, they are all from either sales or director/executive level people. The pay scale skews heavily towards sales. They have a company-wide meeting dedicated to them every Monday. There is a huge disconnect from what the employees want and what upper management does/gives. They ran annual and quarterly bonuses in 2024. However, in 2025, they stopped running these bonuses without giving employees a reason. They went from 3 days in the office to 4 days in the office. No one wanted this new WFH policy except upper management since it promoted "productivity". My team had more than 7 people leave from my time here and they didn't bat an eye for an additional analyst for us. That led to the remaining team taking on more work with no additional pay. Hard work is not rewarded here. Very limited growth and promotions are based on tenure. The lower tier managers have better ideas but they have no authority to change anything. Leadership is completely out of touch. They say "competitive salary" but it's quite the opposite. The pay is hourly for all entry level positions and it's a non-negotiable wage which is a big red flag. Don't expect any big raises here either. The culture it fosters is to do the bare minimum since there are no incentives which hinders growth in employees. They tend to hire desperate college grads at low wages, burn them out, and then replace them—leading to extremely high turnover. It’s incredibly demoralizing and a slap to the face to see employees underpaid while the CEO donates millions to charity every year. His board members are just yes men because it's his way or the highway. He's wealthy enough (billions) to purchase a stake in the Boston Celtics but all employees get is a laughable $1 per hour raise—if that. Don't be fooled by all the good PR.

Pros

No pros what so ever.

Cons

This company and specifically the collections department have very little opportunity for growth, despite what may be promised during the hiring process. Honestly, it’s a circus. Non stop tasks are thrown at employees each day. And Goals are constantly increased so analyst can’t reach them. Employees who work hard and consistently perform well often find themselves stuck in the same position with no clear path for advancement. Promotions and opportunities never appear to be based on performance or merit. Management is one of the biggest issues. They have no clue. Favoritism is prevalent, and certain employees seem to receive special treatment, better opportunities, and more support than others. This creates a frustrating and discouraging work environment where many employees feel undervalued and overlooked. Morale suffers when performance and dedication are overlooked in favor of personal relationships and when there is little accountability for management and no transparency regarding career development. Communication from leadership is lacking, and employee concerns are not addressed. Management gets defensive when employees ask questions or disagree with their stupid decisions. Overall, it can be a VERY challenging place to build a longterm career if you are looking for fair treatment, professional growth, and strong leadership. Turnover rate is very high. Also, micro management is at an all time high. Would not even recommend this place to a college grad for entry level experience, if i could Put 0 stars, i would. For the sake of your mental health, stay far away.
