Avantages

Free apartment, opportunities to meet people, and involvement in activities and events.

Inconvénients

Compensation did not reflect the workload or level of responsibility expected from staff. Employees were expected to take on additional duties without additional pay. Hours were reduced with little notice while expectations and workload remained the same. Management communication and support were inconsistent, which created unnecessary stress and made the role more difficult than it needed to be. Workplace culture often felt unsupportive, and staff concerns were not handled professionally or constructively.

Avantages

Opportunities to travel as part of the job, with expenses covered and no PTO required unless you choose to extend your trip. The people are friendly and approachable at all levels, and there’s strong representation of women in leadership—up to a certain point. The company also hosts fun summits and social events.

Inconvénients

The salary is far too low to live in Boston. The trips are also overpriced relative to the value customers receive. The company emphasizes perks and benefits as a “total package,” but it often feels like a way to distract from below-market pay. There’s little focus on retaining strong talent, turnover seems accepted, with a preference for replacing experienced employees with recent graduates willing to accept lower salaries.

Concerns around salaries and career growth are important topics, and we recognize the impact these areas can have on your experience working here. Retaining strong talent is definitely a focus for us, so we’re sorry to hear that has not been your experience. As compensation packages are reviewed annually, we’ve shared your comments as part of those discussions. If you have not already done so, we would also encourage you to speak with your manager or local RED team as they can best support you.
