Pros

Lots of perks: Flexible work schedule, laptop to work from home, free catered lunches and snacks, competitive pay...

Cons

Edit: The thing I was most disappointed in is the huge lack of training and support. Guys, it's an extremely stressful work load and there is so much to learn to become self-sufficient. The training was vastly lacking, they don't really ease you into it... there was almost zero support, resources are hard to find and out of date, there is no consistency in policies or procedures. Seriously, you could ask 10 different people the same question and get 10 different answers... I've never had a worse job experience. I was consistently ignored by management, my teammates were abrasive and rude when I asked questions (not all of them, and not that I could really blame them, they were stressed out with heavy workloads too)! I had to ask over and over for a specific manager to supply login credentials for the systems needed to do my job -- I was there for about 2 months and still didn't get them all. Some systems would often be down or unavailable, subscriptions to services would constantly run out and would take days to get back up -- it was horribly inefficient, yet they pile the work on you which for a newbie required putting in a ton of extra time after hours and at home. I went to my manager on several occasions asking for some kind of constructive criticism on my work because I just could not keep up with the volume they were dishing out to me... unfortunately, nothing ever happened but I was warned for getting too far behind. I finally had to throw in the towel and quit because I was just too stressed out and really just sick of the way I was being treated. I felt like an outcast, I felt like people were annoyed with me for bothering them with questions... The only excuse Turo has is they are a start-up and are experiencing growing pains... I probably could have put up with that if everyone wasn't so rude and short with me. And I'm not even sorry for saying this, but after working in the claims department for Turo, I will NEVER use their service. It's a nifty idea, but the way they handle their claims is really unfair. That's just my opinion.

Pros

There are still some nice folks around, though most of them are either interviewing or quietly updating their LinkedIn.

Cons

The company somehow still thinks it’s a rocket ship despite the failed IPO and no clear liftoff plan in sight. Leadership’s response? Blame the employees — because obviously we’re the reason the ship didn’t fly 🙃. Meanwhile, upper management keeps spinning around in circles with vague visions, poor execution, and zero accountability. The cherry on top? They hand out stock options like they’re Silicon Valley gold, but really it’s just monopoly money. You’re expected to “fight for the company’s future” in return for a handful of fairy dust.

Pros

Direct deposit every two weeks.

Cons

If I could give zero stars I would. This company is a scam. The customers are bottom of the barrel and be prepared for every single claim to be an escalation. The policies you will be asked to enforce are bizarre and poorly written. The CEO cares about allowing anyone and anybody to use the platform in order to grow the company and cares less about risk, fraud, and robbery. You will work these claims on a "claims system" that does not work. The system breaks down on a daily basis leaving you stranded and unable to respond to emails or view attachments or do anything. On the surface the job seems great, but you quickly realize there is no support from your team, supervisors, or senior management. Any mistakes the company makes will ultimately be your fault and they will let you know it on a daily basis with a never ending instant messages. The workload is overwhelming to say the least and the expectations are completely unreasonable. Especially when you are using a program that does not work. There is blatant favoritism. After filing several HR complaints Turo finally recognized this was happening; however, they did not change their behavior. Management is petty. You consistently have to take screenshots of what is communicated to you so that you can defend yourself later when an action backfires and management blames you. Expect retaliation from management as well if you give any constructive criticism. Turo will promise you benefits and then when it comes time to deliver there is always some type of issue on why they can't do what they promised. In the past month over 15 employees have left the company for these reasons and more. The new head of claims and claims management are completely clueless on how to run a department. I will say that the only thing the supervisors are good at is playing ping pong. Don't expect the opportunity to play though since you will be drowning in claims. You will also attend many many meetings that make no sense. No action will ever come from those meetings. Did I mention the claims system does not work? You will absolutely dread coming to work every single day. After Turo chews all the greatness and motivation out of you they will spit you out. We've been told in a meeting that we are all replaceable. Management has a seriously lacking logic and it shows. Make no mistake that if you decide to work for Turo you will be walking into a hostile work environment and you're on your own.
