Pros

Home office, no commute, paid full-time training.

Cons

Barely above minimum-wage pay, and the company also seems to value negative behavioral reinforcement towards employees (rather than positive), cynicism, and self-serving ideals. They are very much for-profit rather than people driven, despite their "treat the customer like a friend," customer-centric processes. There was a lot of behind-the-scenes customer bashing by the management that was disturbing to me at the forefront. In training, frequent loss-of-job threats involving late completion of training materials were sent out globally, regardless if they were applicable or not. The training process itself was based on a "survival of the fittest" premise , and there was little mercy for the fallen.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
