Pros

- Once full-time, there is a process to terminate. Not as easy to term a full-timer than a seasonal. - Decent salary, pay raises exist (many places don't increase pay EVER) - Work is not extremely difficult and is very rewarding - If you do your job and make your superiors' jobs easier, then you'll be fine

Cons

- Seasonals can be summarily reduced or laid off; extremely unclear which criteria are needed to be considered for full-time status. - Pay raises are half of what other companies can give (but also other companies may give no raises) - Lower-paid positions (under six figures) often having no bonus or incentive, while higher-paid (six figure) positions have a year incentive min 5% sometimes 10% your salary. This compounds the divide between who's who and who's not. - Some lower-paid positions (phone jobs and other front-line, customer-interactive positions) never increase pay. Either promote or leave the company. - Many inefficiencies make your job harder. If other depts and positions don't provide data or communication you need to facilitate a request, this is still (somehow) your fault for the request not getting done.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
