High expectations with limited support for new employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is well-structured and organized. • Work environment is fast-paced and gives you opportunities to learn quickly. • Some team members are helpful and willing to answer questions.

Cons

• Training felt too short for the complexity of the outbound department. • Management is very results-focused but not as patient with new hires adjusting. • Write-ups were given quickly, with little chance to improve or redeem mistakes. • Communication between employees and management could be better — concerns weren’t always addressed. • Didn’t always feel supported, which made it stressful to come to work.
