Not much great about this role or company. Maybe healthcare.

Cons

This is just a glorified call center.

Thanks for giving us some feedback -- it's true, we make a lot of calls, but only because we're committed to our clients and specialists winning! For most roles, your first ~2-3 months is spent getting to know our clients' work and finding them the perfect specialist or resource to help their research, which often involves speaking directly to the specialists to learn about their expertise (hence, the phone). We've found that the most effective way to connect with experts and build relationships with our clients is voice-to-voice, so we much prefer the phone over email communication when it makes sense!

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
