Pros

remote work friendly. good work/life balance. salary was good for remote work.

Cons

No potential job growth - feels stagnant - feeling that you will be in that same position the whole time you are working for this company. Pointless projects - Management doesn't share the overall goal/use of assigned projects. Useless management - They aren't problem solvers, just take in complaints and only act if there is a legal issue. Jaded senior coworkers - Senior coworkers seem to be okay and expect management to be bad and its affected them as well. seniors don't seem to be in a mind set of helping the newer coworkers thrive and want to set them up for failure.

Pros

I worked on the email team a millennia ago, not sure if it still exists today. It was a fun job not answering calls. Very small biannual raises, maybe a quarter or two increase an hour. They reward seniority and tenure. Actually, it's one of the reasons why I left, couldn't stomach seeing some of the leadership day-in-day-out. One of the team leads couldn't contain his energy whenever he was provided attractive female customer service agents to supervise, tried to put on alpha-ish displays and wore small tight shirts. Kind of created a weird aggro morale for his team, even promoted several times up to executive office for some reason. BUT thankfully, my coworkers were awesome!! This was definitely a temporary job for someone in between careers, there were lots of unique personalities, lots of snacks, company events, so I'd say the morale team (yes one of those existed) did a pretty good job.

Cons

Whoops, just read the above
