Support Engineer
Genuinely one of the most diverse companies I've seen so far. And the rare case where a company claims diversity as a value and is clearly backing that up with their hiring. Cool!

The company sounds fine and they have a solid Careers page. However, based on the job description, it's not totally clear why this is a Director-level role, and some of the job duties don't fit with a Success role.
Seems great. Job description includes a lot of personality and both the JD and the Careers page are informative while showing a lot of positive culture signals.
I will say, "the ability to communicate effectively and persuasively is required" in a substance abuse disorder treatment environment made me pause (it sounds vaguely salesy, which is a little gross given the subject matter).
This is more of an IT Support role, although that's not clear from the title. Having worked for a similar company, the job description seems pretty straightforward for this kind of role.
The role seems pretty straightforward, and the company's Carreers page is pretty standard corporate fare. The main thing putting this in Tread Carefully is the lack of salary transparency.
This is not an Analyst role. Also, no mention of benefits anywhere in the JD or on the Careers page.
I am reading these job duties, and y'all, "you will sit at the intersection of product, marketing and customer support," my ass. This role is three whole jobs. Does no one else work at this company?
Hey, this is exciting! I don't know if Vetcove read this Bad Job Bingo critique, but they've updated the title of this position to Vet Clinic Implementation Manager.
So...AI wrote this job description, and no one proofread / edited it? Cool.
Okay, for starters, none (save one) of the duties listed in this JD are Lead-level duties. They clearly want a discount Director/VP of Support. (And at $70k-$150k, we're talking a *real* discount.)
My first thought when looking at this company's Careers page was: "My god, they desperately need a middle-aged manager to decline their screentime requests an hour before bedtime."
This, and the whole introductory paragraph, has some of the most flowery language to describe a middle manager role that I have ever read.
THIS IS NOT SUPPORT ENGINEER WORK. Is something in the water? Is Venus in retrograde? Am I in the Upside Down? WHAT IS HAPPENING.
Genuinely, y'all, I don't think they know what Support is. I'm not being funny. I think someone is very confused. Or I am very confused. One of us is very confused.
It's a call center director position at a corporate giant, so, you know. Do with that what you will.
If this is a global senior leadership position (as described in the JD), it really should be at the VP-level or higher. Otherwise, everything seems normal enough, although I'm not sure about the salary range – seems low for a position at this level that's also hybrid in New York.
Job description looks reasonable enough, but there's no salary transparency, so into Tread Carefully it goes.
Well-defined (and compensated) role and the company calls out in the JD how much they value their Success team. Obviously depends on how they actually treat the team, but it's nice to see.
I don't know if the hiring manager is an immature manager or what's happening here, but whoever wrote this job description does not have a good grasp of what makes a CX professional successful in their work. The only thing keeping this out of BINGO is that the salary is decent.
Given the work this role will be doing and how often they will be working with senior leadership, I think it probably should have a more senior title and a slightly higher salary range.
Other than the casual ableism, this is a straightforward management role with a good compensation package.
Maybe they should have had Siena review this job listing before they posted it.
