Pros

Great wages, vacation, and benefits.

Cons

I have worked in call centers for over 15 years and have always climbed the ladder pretty quickly. This company has the worst training, I have ever had. They don't show you how to use the system to answer customer questions. Instead they just have you learn policies to follow. The problem is that, customers aren't generic, they normally have a lot of other questions....so you spend a lot of timing digging to find the info or calling a lead. I had three people in my class with ADA, all fired quickly. If anything goes wrong they quickly drain your PTO and then fire you. And people in training are so stressed.
