Pros

They aren't the only company providing these services. They are paying my salary and providing benefits while I find another job.

Cons

Awful company that continues to make promises that they cannot fulfill. Low pay. 1/3 of what was promised. High expectations from employees but lack of support. Constantly changing processes. Terrible employee morale. By end of year they will lose 50% of sales staff. Recruiters are calling us nonstop because our industry is tight knit and most of my teammates are leaving. Mgmt is lackluster and demotivating and has no control over the broken processes. We are being tasked with doing more work with less support. Pay is too low and commissions are pathetic. I made more fresh out of college. Greedy mgmt and owners that will ultimately suffer due to the high cost of attrition. No one seems to be able to make the changes necessary to fix internal problems. We have no marketshare. Most companies have never heard of first advantage. No marketing support and too much red tape. Run don't walk from this company.

Pros

Remote first company Once out of operations you really manage your own time.

Cons

Excessive Workloads Poor choice in Team Leads Don’t get sick and if you do pray it doesn’t last longer than your FMLA 12 weeks because they will fire you! Even after 8 years of employment. Even when it is documented that they are responsible for the health issues caused by burnout!
