Review from Product Dept

Love the unlimited PTO, it's the best.

Review from Marketing Dept

pretty comprehensive so-called 'hard' benefits that you would be familiar with in any line of work, but it is the 'soft' benefits that have a tremendous impact; namely, hospitality perks and flexible time off policies that reap dividends as well as numerous opportunities to learn / become involved

Review from Product Dept

fooda and the gym and the unlimited vacation

Unlimited Paid Time Off is a nice bennie

Review from Engineering Dept

Review from IT Dept

We have the choice to decide if we want cash, equity, or a bit of both in our bonuses

Very generous time off policy!

Review from Operations Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I would like more money for the value I provide to the company

Review from Operations Dept

Most individual contributors are underpaid for their skills and experience

Living wages for all at the company, better raised based on reviews and no hourly salary cap for agents and managers to be compensated based on their work instead of assigning a 3 to everyone.

Comparable to industry averages. Sometimes when people move up in the company, their salary is based on their original salary adding to it, instead of paying for the position.

Still seems like a boys club - pals of the executive team get large scale promotions much more frequently than the rest of us, especially women.

Not a lot of promises are kept, and the communication/positive atmosphere is at a low comparatively speaking in regards to other places I have been employed.

Review from Operations Dept

I love this company, However I do not feel that we are paid fairly.

Review from Customer Support Dept

They need to stop underpaying people at lower salary levels and have huge difference between execs and employees

Review from Operations Dept

It would be nice to make a living wage.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I dont feel undervalued in my position I do however feel that with the many different task that we handle we do deserve a higher wage then what we are making at this time.

Review from Customer Support Dept

We are underpaid as a whole, and theyre hiring new people at higher wages who are terrible at their jobs while those who are good are seeking other employment because we are not having our compensation increased fairly.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel that because we are based out of Tennesse it's ok to pay us less. For Avant to be a financial tech company it's concerning that the local grocery store will pay more money than Avant.

Review from Admin Dept

Pay raises need to be looked at more fairly especially when your are forced to learn multiple Bank partnerships and given more responsibility

Review from Operations Dept

I am underpaid compared to the benchmark of others in my field. Avant likes to pay by level, but does not take into consideration what other companies pay. Avant is also unwilling to make compensation changes in the short term even with data that proves a need.

Review from Product Dept

Bonus structure is a percentage of your salary with multipliers depending on your performance score. This sets a frustrating cap on bonus potential who put in the hours. Also, pay increases are done in a very corporate, slow and steady manner. They should consider jacking up pay for top performers.

Review from Operations Dept

I would like to be paid more

Review from Finance Dept

Experience does not match title and compensation.

Review from Operations Dept

Match other employers on pay. Don't feel undervalued.

Review from Engineering Dept

Underpaid for workload/expectation to juggle multiple responsibilities. Also underpaid for cost of living and level of education. A transparent comp structure would be helpful so we could know whether or not we're being paid fairly within our department, as pay and titles seem kind of random here.
