Pros

-you'll work with some of the smartest and most supportive people, my direct team was amazing -I had incredible managers who were supportive and advocated for me and my colleagues -they give good bonuses and fair compensation -people stay here a LONG time, would see work anniversaries for 20+ years (at one point 40 years!!) so seems like there is some longevity there -they provide reasonable benefits and have a 401k match -hybrid work, 3 days in office + 2 at home -40 hours of PAID volunteer time per year which is separate from PTO, wonderful to make a difference in our communities -there is SO much diversity, it was awesome to see, the most out of any corporate job I've ever worked

Cons

-there is def some imbalance between teams, support/service colleagues always miss out being able to attend events/perks in the office, oftentimes there would be catered lunches for some teams(mainly sales teams) and then they would literally offer the "leftovers" for the support/service teams -distributed teams yet they still require employees to go into the office and sit alone when every other team member will be in an office across the country, never made a ton of sense to me -they seem to not be very motivated to mentor colleagues or provide advice on how to explore more career growth, sort of stagnate approach, not sure if they are on a hiring freeze or what -their customer base is mostly aging out for a lot of their small business products, it often felt like working with dinosaur technology and no plans to improve/replace those small business products, it's 2026 and the products feel like 1996 -if you work in support or service be prepared to be answering phones for 8 hours a day nonstop, all of my colleagues experienced or ARE experiencing incredible burnout -some of the more senior members of teams that do not work directly with customers are incredibly condescending, I heard wild inappropriate things at times when I would be asking for simple advice on customer issues, it was disappointing how it would go unaddressed or swept away as "oh thats just how NAME is, they don't mean it", it was not just me but several other team members who had brought these things up consistently to trainers/management

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
