Pros

At first, this job seemed great. Training was fun, the benefits are nice, but you are treated as a statistic. - internet reimbursement - good dental and health insurance *** honestly though they are not good enough to outweigh how terrible and mentally burnt out I feel on the job.

Cons

hey tell you your coworkers on your team are not your competitors but in every meeting we talk numbers about who is doing the best and we are put up against our teammates. There is little room for growth. Leads are there to micromanage. Every. minute. of your day is tracked, and cameras are REQUIRED to be on during meetings. There is no freedom it feels like I'm in daycare each day. Oh and did I mention they do not know how to split a workload evenly and most days you are on phones for 4-5 hours? This job is actually very stressful and customers are extremely abusive. Don't let them fool you. In the interview be sure to ask if their turnover rate is high, and why, hopefully they will be honest. I can't believe I have stayed this long.

Pros

People care about the product immensely. Also, WFH 100% is really great as an option.

Cons

PayPal's senior leadership is absolutely clueless on how to move the product forward or grow the company, and this kills the I credible Venmo team's work velocity considerably. Senior leadership also thinks inserting ads everywhere is somehow helpful for the Venmo brand and company as a whole. They (PayPal) just removed sabbatical PTO. Horrendous idea.
