Pros

- Work from home - Benefits kick in immediately - Everyone has been welcoming and kind - 3 weeks Vacation - Encourages growth and development - Room to move into other positions if you make it as a Guru

Cons

- Encourage you to work OT - Expect you to be able to manage 3 chats at the same time. This is very hard when merchants are asking complicated questions! It's incredibly stressful, even for guru's who have been doing this for over six months. I don't think we're providing the best possible customer service when doing this. - Wasn't told sales would be a big part of the role until two weeks into training... quotas are pretty unrealistic, and I find being constantly monitored exhausting as well. - Work/home life balance has been very tough. The allotted time for catching up on follow-up emails etc is not enough, so we end up working OT most days.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
