Head of Customer Experience
The company has an informative Careers page and the job duties make sense overall, but I'm going to say Tread Carefully for this one.
Roles labeled as Head or Director of a CX function, or that involve being responsible for the business outcomes of an entire CX function, department, or division (regardless of size).
The company has an informative Careers page and the job duties make sense overall, but I'm going to say Tread Carefully for this one.
How good are you at plastering on a smile while a middle-aged white dude is screaming at you?
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.
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.
But I thought this is what Siena was for? Are you saying you need humans to support humans? Real food for thought.
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
I'm not putting this in Tread Carefully because anything in the job is jumping out at me specifically – let's say it's a general wariness about Google's working environment and the fact that, again, the company doesn't address how they protect the mental health of those working in Trust & Safety.
Ehhhhh. Look. Most people want to do the very best they can, and yes, overachieve. But I am immediately suspicious of any company that wants to codify an employee doing more than what they're being paid for.
I'm posting this here because 1) A CX professional would absolutely kill it in this role, and 2) GET THAT MONEY.
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.
"You want to be with the best" -- No. Throw me in the dumpster. Those trash pandas are my real family.
Do not do a shot every time you read the words "competent" or "competence." You will die of alcohol poisoning.
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.
Job description is refreshingly free of "fast-paced, dynamic company" and "rockstar" language that's been so prevalent today. Salary's a little wide, but more than appropriate. This one might be a keeper!
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.
I had high hopes for this one, but the "energy" verbiage, the positivity stuff, calling health and dental a "perk" instead of the very important benefits you offer your employees in exchange for their labor...it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, you know?
Salary range is wide but high enough that I don't think anyone will really care.
They describe what they want instead of just plastering "critical-thinker" in a sentence and calling it a day! My crops are flourishing, my skin is clear, my bagels are perfectly toasted, tikkun olam everybody.
Y'all. Whenever a company mentions the actual benefits of a job as "in addition" to the PRIVILEGE and SPLENDOR of simply working for said company, as if being able to feed and provide for the health of your family is secondary to supporting an "iconic brand," well that is a major red flag.
Uh. Buckle in, my friends, because this one is A RIDE.
