Pros

Super hard-working team members.. you'll all be under appreciated together.

Cons

Customer Success has the highest turnover rate in the entire company for a reason. The clients are mentally and verbally abusive, to the point that it’s now completely overlooked and we’re all just told “whelp, it’s part of your job.” You’ll spend 50+ hours a week being condescended and patronized to by clients, and management as well. Managers heavily watch and document when people come into work and leave, and will comment if you’ve left before 8 hours, without even the acknowledgement that some people work at different speeds and if their work is done, and completed well, they should be able to leave - unless you're a clear favorite of upper management, which seems to be an ongoing trend in this department. Every quarter, they’ll add more KPI’s on top of an already ANXIETY INDUCING work volume and client-base, and act like it’ll help you when it’s really another way to effectively micromanage. They pretend to have this amazing support and loyalty to the employees but it’s another money-hungry tech startup with a product that is nearly a decade away from offering a solid solution to it’s entire client base. All-in-All: another toxic LA tech start-up in the form of an Indian call center, which tries to airbrush out the mental abuse, low compensation and patronization with dogs, location, free airline snacks, and a single ping pong table - not to mention taps that are never refilled. Be prepared to work here for 9-10 months, watch overworked and under-appreciated members of your team leave on a weekly basis and spend every day wishing this wasn’t your life.

PatientPop Response

I%E2%80%99m saddened that you did not enjoy working within Customer Success at PatientPop. Participating in a fast-growth start-up is not easy and we try to be very upfront about that. Our customers are trying to thrive as independent medical providers, and our most successful employees are those who feel empathy towards our customers. We help practices grow their revenue in order to survive in the marketplace. There are other SaaS companies that solve for easier, less mission-critical problems. That should always be a factor when choosing an employer.Employees who thrive in this type of work environment are those who are committed to our mission, who find solutions rather than roadblocks, and contribute to a positive work environment. Some of our most-passionate employees come from a family of independent doctors. One of our mantras within Customer Success is that we succeed and fail as a team. We strongly encourage anyone who is able to work ahead or highly skilled to look for opportunities to support and contribute to the growth of their peers and the success of their team.I wanted to acknowledge a few issues you mentioned:Front-line customer-facing roles often have higher turnover than other departments. So it%E2%80%99s true that within PatientPop, CS has a higher turnover rate than other departments however, PatientPop turnover is lower than industry averages. Our salary ranges are benchmarked/aligned with other SaaS SMB (Small Business) start-ups and our recruiters are transparent about compensation during the interview process. In the past 3 months, more than 25\% of our CS employees were promoted and given opportunities for career growth. This is something we pride ourselves on. Our KPI%E2%80%99s are consistent with CS in other SaaS start-ups: proactive outreach, quarterly performance reviews, NPS, upsell ARR, product adoption, renewals, referrals, etc. It takes time to learn how to prioritize and multitask across each of these KPIs.We pride ourselves on being an organization that is transparent and has an open door policy. Without direct feedback and a course of action its hard to implement and make change, so I encourage you, or anyone else that has concerns to speak with me or anyone on the Executive or Leadership team directly. Part of our mission is to make PatientPop a great place to work and need the help of all our employees in order to do so. -Carla Nichols, Chief Customer Officer

Pros

The experience that you will get here is valuable and will translate well into other roles in the industry. You will get to wear many different hats and the opportunity to jump on projects that interest you are always available. The company seems to be doing pretty well despite the pandemic. You will also get to work with so many amazing people who care about their contribution to the company. The managers are all very smart and passionate about PatientPop's mission. You will learn the inner workings of a successful tech start-up.

Cons

The organization recently switched to a pod-based account management style, so you don't get your own book of business if you are SMB. CSMs now have to be on call answering phone calls and taking inbound customer inquiries all day. This makes the job feel a lot like support, and with so many CSMs quitting, the workload gets more demanding. Every day feels like a sprint, which is mentally draining. The staff and the customers disapprove of pod-based account management but it saves money because you don't need as many CSMs. They claim that the switch is to benefit us. It now feels like a reactive job, management will tell you otherwise. You spend a lot of your time dealing with cancellation requests, you have to resell the benefits of the platform to customers on every call. Many other companies won't see your experience as relevant because of the type of customers that you work with.
