Customer Support Specialist (Product Expert)
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.*
Steph is a writer and Support leader/consultant. When she's not screaming into the void for catharsis, you can find her crafting, hanging with her kids, or spending entirely too much time on Tumblr.

Well, that's some bullshit! Especially for a hybrid role in Denver. BINGO.
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.
The rest of the JD is fine, and the pay is great, but there are enough worrying cultural signals and other red flags that I feel compelled to put this in Tread Carefully.
The job description is thorough and well-considered, and the pay is excellent, as are the benefits (among which are 100% company-paid for employees and dependents!). This is a high-ranking Eh, It's Probably Fine.
Given the unusual schedule expectations and the very specific technical skills and experience required for this role, that salary range is not great. I mean, with the poor job market, they'll probably be able to hire someone at that comp, but. I'm not impressed. Tread Carefully.
Having said all that, this role's responsibilities are well-scoped and make sense for a Director role, as do the requirements, which distinguish it well enough from the VP position. If it weren't for the lack of salary transparency, this would still go in Eh, It's Probably Fine, but alas.
Yet again, what would otherwise be a solid Eh, It's Probably Fine is getting thrown into Tread Carefully instead because there is no comp given. I guess I have job security after all?
Damn, I think this would be a high Eh, It's Probably Fine if it had salary transparency, but it doesn't. That's a big bummer, because I think there are a lot of positive cultural signals, and it would be a fun, meaty role for the right person. I reluctantly place this in Tread Carefully.
Very straightforward Trust & Safety role; nothing jumps out at me as particularly concerning, and the pay is excellent. You'd be working for OpenAI.
The pay is okay – $25 per hour for what appears to be a remote, entry-level role is good. And having started myself in CX as a contract content moderator, I can say it's a good way to get your foot in the door in Trust & Safety or CX.
Because it makes me feel hopeful about AI, I'm tentatively putting this in Green Means Go.
Whatever. You know what I'd say here if I weren't so goddamned tired. You know, from all the fucking capitalism.
Not much to say about this one; the duties and qualifications seem pretty straightforward, and the salary is decent for a Docs role. Solid Eh, It's Probably Fine.
Well, this was fine until I got to the last bit of the required qualifications and basically all of the preferred quals section. For a senior technical role like this, $83,500-$100,000 is poor compensation. Throwing this in Tread Carefully.
The duties are well-articulated and reasonable for the role. I think it really is fine? And the requirements are all normal too, the benefits section actually contains benefits, and the salary is great at $115,000 - $143,000.
I mean, the comp is $140,000-$180,000, but that doesn't seem nearly enough for a role that's running CS, Ops, IT, HR, and maybe also the rest of the company?
A fun environment in which you have to remain calm and positive in all situations? Sure, that checks out.
The new JD is much shorter (I've pasted it below, above the old one), but it has many of the same problems as the original. It should still be a more senior title, it still doesn't list any actual benefits, and there's still no salary transparency. In BINGO it remains!
The biggest problems are 1) they fall into the "it's a benefit to work here!" trap, and 2) they claim a competitive compensation package without actually sharing what the comp is. The latter, of course, means that this is a Tread Carefully job.
It's probably a little pathetic how easy it is to get me on your side as an AI company. Oh, you're doing the bare minimum? WOULD YOU LIKE A COOKIE?
I'm putting this in BINGO purely for how insufferable this company sounds.
