Pros

It's amusing to watch a circus on fire. You won't be bored!

Cons

It's Hunger Games but poorly written and uninspiring. Leadership is in complete disarray. The worst people get bubbled up into management. They hired more people than they can afford. They have no direction. They constantly rug-pull you and frantically switch to random new initiatives without even bothering to get set up for success. Then leadership blames all the problems on the people doing the actual work. You'll have a new manager every 3 months because people are constantly quitting, being laid-off or "fired" for no reason. The have no money for perks. Stock options for most are underwater. We have to share logins for the tools to do our jobs because they are broke. They stopped 401k matching. There's no reason for anyone to stay besides being chained by a VISA. Everyone not on a VISA is being managed out.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
