Pluspunten

Their operations team is awesome. Everyone else will gloss out the flaws and gaslight you into thinking it's only a you problem. Above Avg pay with good benefits Lots learned in the training phase albeit it's at the traumatic end If you're desperate, they're a good fit, there's no space for hesitation and you have to really be desperate that self-respect isn't a thing for you anymore.

Minpunten

- totally destroyed my passion for being an executive assistant, borderline destroyed my life with the amount of unnecessary stress they bring to the table due to inefficient, ineffective training methods - imagine being asked to do a 4-5 hour task in 1-2 hours by people who have no experience in that task nor a record of completing it at that time - imagine doing plenty of above and beyond but not getting rewarded for that yet getting punished for the small mistakes in grading - imagine all this happening to you and when you do book a consult, it is always phrased around the narrative that it is beyond your control and YOU HAVE TO ADJUST. - pandering to resilience discreetly with positive power words is a very common occurrence - Executive Partner? More like, an executive assistant with a vague job description so you can be exploited into overworking yourself without additional benefit for efficiency - The scope of your role is kept vague and general so they could add more work in without additional pay - They're not transparent enough with policies, placement, and internal processes. Ask them hard, real questions, they will sugarcoat it with vague corpo-filtered answers - if you're mentally ill or struggling already, don't even try. You're going to get worse. - They're overhyped and have not taken responsibility for the many hires affected by their overhyped numbers - Expect that you will be asked to be perfect based on an imperfect scale they're still working on, and still get punished for it. - Always think positive. Any dissent I've seen so far has only led to offboarding, or finding you one single mistake to justify offboarding - They will say they are employee-oriented but really make client-oriented decisions at higher management, even in their core policies - They have a lot of rules that don't make sense or aren't explained, and if you ask them about it, you're in for a ride - They filter out the hard questions in Q&As - If you think they're different from your BPO setup which is likely toxic, you're going to be really disappointed - If you got sent here by their flashy social media posts and paid social media influencers, you're going to have a bad time - A lot of red-flag clients get away with appeasements framing you as the one who made the mistake - Don't expect a good client in this pay grade. They're still paying you because Filipinos tend to be cheaper labor for the same, if not better quality of work

Pay was good, simple and fast sale, Tons of inbound. Too good to be true…

Minpunten

Little training or organization. As a new hire was able to do really well in a short period of time but was part of mass lay off 6 days before Christmas. Layoff was handled terribly. Still waiting to get reimbursed for shipping cost for returning company equipment. I regret applying here and it really screwed up my life. The leadership is both incompetent and cruel.
