Use to be a fun place to work and is now is not
Customer Solution Agent (Current Employee), Provo, UT – November 27, 2012
Pros: we had free bagle thursday, and video games in customer support to relieve the stress
Cons: all the above is gone, employee morale is low, job reviews batter worker morale. seem to guarantee worker will fail. you do nothing right.
I loved my position as a work at home agent. Now that position has been eliminated. All agents are now called in. When I first began working with the company it was a breath of fresh air for a large corporation. None of the back stabbing, very high energy and positivity.

Since growing, through the work of its agents, it's now cold, lacking in care – more... of its employees and customers who literally make their business. – less

Fun, work environment with really good people that care about their employees
Digital Preservation Specialist (Former Employee), Provo, UT – August 1, 2012
Pros: fun, flexible work place
Cons: short breaks, not a lot of benefits for part-time employes
A typical day would include taking various types of content and scanning them into in house programs in order to enhance them for the company website. I think my favorite part of working here was my co-workers. It was a very fun and relaxing environment.

Working in Customer Support
Member Services Representative (Former Employee), Provo, UT – April 26, 2012
Pros: good benefits if you are full time.
Cons: this department works all holidays and weekends, sometimes it is hard to get requested time off.
You will be answering a wide variety of calls. You need to be very patient. There is a lot of emphasis placed on stats and handle time. You need to be abel to learn quickly and act on the spot. The web site changes rapidly and you usually find out when a member calls in. You need to be able to handle the call and quickly assist with the change and take – more... feedback. It was enjoyable finding family records for the members. The billing is automatically renewed and the online cancel doesn't always work. Because of this you will be dealing with some angry customers. – less

Ancestry.com
Manager, International Member Support (Current Employee), Provo, UT – March 11, 2011
Ancestry.com is an excellent company to work for. I have never worked for another company that so greatly values its employees. This organization truly encourages an "open door" policy and feedback is delivered consistently. Members of the leadership team are always available to discuss performance and to coach employees about how to improve. Ancestry – more... encourages promotion from within so there is a lot of opportunity for upward mobility. – less
