Customer Support Analyst (LATAM)
This is not an Analyst role. Also, no mention of benefits anywhere in the JD or on the Careers page.
Roles that involve reactively helping customers understand how to use a product and helping customers with technical issues. Support is usually provided via email, phone, chat, and/or social media.
This is not an Analyst role. Also, no mention of benefits anywhere in the JD or on the Careers page.
The duties of the role and title are badly misaligned – this should be a Director-level role.
The salary range is interesting, to say the least – the low side is way too low, and I don't trust that the high side is actually on the table.
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.
This, and the whole introductory paragraph, has some of the most flowery language to describe a middle manager role that I have ever read.
It's a call center director position at a corporate giant, so, you know. Do with that what you will.
One day I'll have a whole Bad Job Bingo session without a SaaS company claiming to change the world but TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY
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.
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.)
Ah, so they want a discount manager. Cooooool.
I'm torn on this one. I don't think I've ever seen a Customer Support Intern anywhere else, so that Okta offers an intern program for this is very cool. But the fact that they don't say what the comp is makes me think they're just trying to get Support work on the cheap.
Every time they talk about how fun they are, another venture capitalist gets a little red flag pocket square.
This isn't necessarily a red flag given the nature of First Due's product (software for EMS and Fire agencies), but when I read this I thought for sure they'd have a great compensation package to go with this requirement! But nope, they don't.
If I score this strictly, it could be a BINGO, but I'm not going to. Honestly, for the right person, going in with their eyes open (and assuming the pay doesn't suck)? It could be an interesting, meaty role.
I'm extremely confused. Maybe they posted the wrong job description under this job title?
Company overall seems obsessed with "critical thinking" as an attribute, which makes me picture an office where people are, like, constantly running into closed doors. "Bob, Bob! She turned the doorknob! We're free! PUT HER RESUME ON THE TOP OF THE PILE."
Duties are pretty standard for a role like this, as are the qualifications. What's frustrating is the lack of standard info, like salary, benefits, or even normal hints about the rest of the company, so I'm putting it in Tread Carefully.
Given the listed duties and that this position reports to the VP of Operations and will collaborate closely with senior leadership, it really needs to be more senior than a Senior Manager (I'm thinking at least a Director of Support, if not Head of).
Veeva is a Public Benefit Corporation. I don't agree with some of their restrictions, but I think their honesty is a green flag.
My new tagline is going to be - Bad Job Bingo: I read shitty Careers pages you don't have to.
This one originally appeared in Tread Carefully but I got word from a reader that it might just be a scam. Approach with extreme caution.
There's a misalignment between the duties of this position and its seniority, and before you come at me with "they don't do titles! dudebro noises", they're at this very moment advertising for a Director of Engineering, so clearly they're familiar with the concept of leveling.
I think there's a lot of performance about culture happening on Pulley's Careers page, especially considering the explanation of culture they link to is a Twitter thread from 2020.
