Why the fuck are you wanting your Support team to work 22 HOURS IN TWO DAYS JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Application is on Workday. My condolences.
Scribd is being transparent about not being a customer-first organization in which every team contributes to customer happiness. It's saying the company doesn't want to deal with customers, and you're constantly going to be nagging them for the smallest scraps to improve the customer experience.
I'm going to say Tread Carefully for this one, balancing a mostly normal JD with my concerns about company culture.
Either something is in the water all of these companies are drinking, or they're all using AI to write these JDs. Are they just not reading what's been written at all? For fuck's sake.
Overall, I don't think the company presents itself well, and I have concerns about what this role is expected to do. I don't think we've quite hit Seriously, Maybe Don't, but it's definitely a BINGO.
Support cannot fix your organization. This has "massive and ongoing failures of leadership" written all over it.
Is this one of those SiriusXM situations in which you have to go through all nine circles of Hell in order to cancel your subscription?
Brace yourself for an in-depth analysis of Ashby's Careers and Culture materials; I wouldn't normally do this, but considering it's hiring software, it feels appropriate.
I have to say, this is a great job to kick off this BJB batch. I'm really enjoying all these green flags.
My opinions about the gig economy aside (which are mixed—I see the benefits and the considerable downsides), DoorDash's Careers page hero is very, very red and legit hurts my eyes.
You are an HR company. Why can't you define what a fast-paced environment means? I'd think you'd be better at this.
Pitiful. I see they only care that you're eating at work. Go home to your family and be hungry, I guess.
I know, there's someone out there who loves this kind of thing. But I can't help but read that as, "we have no idea what it takes to actually run Support or Trust & Safety in this space and therefore we have unrealistic expectations for this role and have no idea how to meaningfully support it."
This role is very similar to the other Product Support Specialist role, and so I have the same questions about leveling. But again, everything else is good, and the pay range makes sense for what seems to be a slightly more senior role.
The only reason this isn't going into Green Means Go is that a few responsibilities seem a little senior for this title. That could just be a lack of knowledge of their internal structure and leveling, though. Everything else seems good, and the pay is good for a technical/financial role.
Scream it with me: BEEEEEEEENEFITS AAAAAAAARE NOOOOOOOOOT PEEEEEEEEERKS
It's not the fall that kills you. It's the shitty pay at the bottom.
Lordy. Someone dial back the gas in this hot air balloon before we hit the exosphere.
Really puts that DEI statement into perspective, though. "We encourage underrepresented minorities to be underpaid in this role, which will affect their future compensation for years, if not forever."
I don't even remember which job I was supposed to be rating. Goddamn. Oh right, Customer Support Specialist. I'm sure this will be *fine.*
The rest of the job description seems fine. And while the pay is good for this role, it isn't for frontline roles, which pisses me off, so into Tread Carefully it goes.
This pay sucks. And for a hybrid role, it sucks way fucking more. BINGO.
Pay is great, but I dunno, man. You'd be putting a lot of faith in the goodwill of people who can fire you if you don't somehow influence them to run the company properly. I'm calling BINGO on this one.
