Pros
Your co workers and some free perks are now the only reason anyone would stay at this job now... I help positions in 2 departments for a total of about 3 years and was very impressed in the first year with the company culture, perks and what I learned.
Kontras
Now that LN has been bought out things have drastically gone down hill- particularly in the Client Services and sales departments ( the heart of the company) Even before the take over ( I say take over because the new co is literally sucking the life and culture out of what use to be a decent place) The mgmt in the client service department was not great. It reeks of favoritism and fear. God help you if you get on their bad side or have any kind of opinion . The pay is meager and they throw a 1-3% raise at you once a year to get your hopes up and preach about the "opportunity to come"as well.( BTW - it never comes) Since they have been taken over there is even less hope. Those same horrible managers are on edge since their jobs are now in jeopardy and they micromanage to the point of almost giving you an anxiety attack. Your questioned about EVERYTHING including using the restroom during peak business hours ( I am not kidding) and to top it off no one speaks up or goes to HR because they are afraid of their managers. Day to day-You are logged into a queue where you take back to back calls of clients ranging from literally teaching them how to turn on the computer to adding a listing. In this role you are made to feel like you must assist the client so fast to get to the next one you not only frustrates you but the clients as well. Management makes this worse by sending you IM's asking what is taking so long... It is like they do not even remember what its like to do the job.. Oh and if your SUPER busy- don't expect them to log in and help take calls to help, they send most of their calls to VM anyway... And that is if they are even present.. Some of them get to work from home 90% of the year... At the end of the day you feel used up and under appreciated in the client service department and that is the upside if your a favorite"- which is blatantly obvious who they like and who they hate ( yes hate). Sales department is not doing much better - but the "review from a top performer" covers that pretty well- so make sure to read that if you are going into sales there.
