Nice working environment, but work/life balance is just not there

Customer service representative

Pros

The workplace seems to understand that employee morale is a factor in retention.

Cons

It is very difficult to work a schedule between 9am-5pm, which is odd for the industry. The unfortunate part for the workplace culture is that most people enjoy the things the company provides, such as having contests and giveaways, but seems to pretend to be happy working there. Very few people seem to genuinely enjoy working there. The career opportunities seem to be mostly lateral.

Stable employer but far too bureaucratic.

Pros

Mostly friendly on-site workers Good pay for the workload. Decent benefits. Some very good, and supportive managers

Cons

The Customer Care Center at HQ is pretty awful. Although there are a few good people there, most are incompetent and unfriendly. Regional managers frequently spoke of advancements, but promotions were very rare and highly political. I knew some very qualified people at my level who should have been promoted but were overlooked several times. Very hard to get weekends off unless you were a regional manager. Spent money on things that made no sense, but then wouldn't spend money on other things that seemed pretty important.

Pros

Everyone is great at their job, and extremely motivated to produce the best possible product. It's easy to get to know people at every level of the company.

Cons

It's an older workforce. As a younger person, it's sometimes hard to relate to folks who have been working for 30 years already. On the other hand, they give great advice!
