Best Egg

Marlette is a startup that feels like a much more established company. The Management truly believes in making it a profitable business but also making it the best place to work, and they have united in creating a culture and a credo that support that, from the top to the bottom. Individuals are encouraged to try new things, to "fail fast" and move on, and to contribute whenever and wherever they have an idea. We work hard, and are rewarded for it, monetarily and otherwise (company celebrations, early dismissal, public awards and accolades). The hardest part of the job is that I constantly want to do more to help this great company and its people accomplish their goals. The most enjoyable part is knowing that I am valuable and being encouraged to speak up and contribute. I've been in this line of work for over three decades, in every environment from small (35 employees) shops to large international corporations, public and private sector. I was even self-employed for five years. This is easily the best job I've ever had.

Great company and great benefits. Marlette is very up with the times and technology and creates a great working environment for most of its employees. However loan servicing agents don’t receive the same treatment as everyone else. Unless you are a robot that loves being chained to a desk for 8-9 hours a day with little to no breaks so you can hit the efficiency requirements than this job isn’t for you. Very little opportunity for advancement on this team. You are better off moving laterally to showcase your skills and network for potential career growth. Loan servicing is extremely taxing mentally and a very depressing department to work in. Other than loan servicing all other employees are given much more flexibility in their day to day and opportunities to grow. Several times agents in loan servicing were reprimanded for going to the bathroom while the volumes were a little high. All in all it could potentially be a great place to work. This is just one area to avoid.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay.  Incentive program was just okay. They will literally knock you for ANYTHING they can no matter how minor, in attempt to knock ur incentive scores down. I.e. if you say “thank you for calling best egg” at the beginning of the call rather than the end, you’re losing money. Stupid things like that. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Managers unorganized as It gets. Its pathetic actually.  one manager will instruct you to do things one way, and another manager will tell you to do the complete opposite. I remember often feeling like its always a lose-lose situation here. Even when you’re following your superior’s directions you still get knocked. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fully remote setting. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of calls. A lot of technical difficulties. A lot of team meetings.

Although I left Marlette Funding to pursue a freelance career, I often miss my time there and reflect back on it fondly. My manager was the best I have ever had as she was fair, encouraging and pushed her team to produce great work. 

The company cares about it's people and provides many opportunities to learn and grow and also change positions for those interested in pursuing  new paths. 

It's challenging in a good way and management is always looking to improve and innovate. I learned many life-changing skills while at Marlette and hope to take these into my future role. 

The people are smart - it's true! In every departmemt you will find dedicated and talented folks who are helpful and life each other up to succeed. 

I cannot say enough great things about my time at Marlette and I highly recommend working here - good luck!

When I joined Best Egg it seemed like a great company of people who worked well together and were focused on the same goals. Since the founder and CEO abruptly left with no warning, the companies North Star has disappeared and the focus quickly changed to a CYA (Cover Your Axx) mentality and it became a hostil place to work. They are struggling and upper management is lost without it's original leader. 

The goals can be difficult to reach. The volume of work is not high enough for all the reps to get the opportunity to meet goal. The pay is fine, work life balance is pretty good, but the sales goals can be difficult to reach and very competitive. This makes it harder for one person to progress. It being a high volume call center doesn’t help, and the Fact that is was a call center wasn’t entirely clear in the beginning of the interview process. If you’re fine with call center work, and you’re fine with advancing within a call center then you may like the environment

Lack of leadership. High school mentality with decision making at Director level.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Backstabbing, high school gossipy.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
People throwing curve balls in Slack trying to show how they add value. Discussions about different approaches that can be taken with everyone leaning on the highest seniority person’s recommendation always winning.

The overall job is a good place they really work with you culture wise and take steps to make things easy for you, but they have process that just conflict a lot. One day its this then the next day they never implemented that. They have meetings that could honestly be emails and i feel they waste alot of time and money with that. The remote feeling is ok though you are expected to come in. Management is ok but alot of times missing information on ground floor because they are not local. They do politic like any major company but at least they are nice about it to a point. Coworkers are good people.

Watching eggs and sorting them on the line. Sanitation at the end of the day

Management's approach to policies and expectations can feel inconsistent, with rules being enforced differently depending on the individual or situation. While the office itself is modern and offers a variety of free amenities for on-site employees, those who work remotely don't receive comparable benefits, which can create a sense of inequity between in-office and remote staff.
