Pros

Bagel Friday & down town location

Cons

I really wish I had done my research before even applying. This is the worst job I've ever had. They monitor your bathroom breaks & question why you would be gone for 5 minutes from your desk. They will not prepare you for the "call experience" it's a call center, you are confined to your cube and headset. There are no after work events and the people you work with will be complete strangers. You will do nothing but answer call after call. The most depressing part is they teach you to be a robot when talking to people with SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITIONS. These people look at you as the enemies which then makes you annoyed with them. They focus on call volume not call quality and will actually ask you why a phone call took too long, as if it's something you can control. They do not want you to be compassionate and if you show human emotion will question how you can better direct calls. You will not be allowed to console & after many a phone calls you will find yourself emotionally drained. "Promotions" don't exist here. They will give you more responsibilities but pay you the same as people with less. They also keep you in the dark as to when you can advance and always tell you to follow up with someone else for answers. They give you nothing but empty promises. You only get promotions after a year because the turn over rate is about 93% in the first year. I have actually cried at my desk on more than one occasion. They make you feel guilty when requesting time off even months on advance & someone quits at least once a week. DO NOT WORK HERE ...unless you're actually a robot

Pros

- Good co-workers - Work life balance - Bagels on Fridays

Cons

- No company culture! The NBC tower where CP is housed hosts more events than compsych does! Compsych doesn't have consistent events or opportunities for team-building as an organization, you're either chained to your desk or just socialize within your immediate team. -Benefits are terribly expense and not very good. They offer 3 plan types but none of them are that appealing. Many candidates that interview with CP, choose not to accept offers because of our terrible benefits. The 401k matching is also poor and lacking behind what is market standard. - Most employees are severely underpaid!! Master's level employees are paid less than 40k, but do some of the toughest work for the company dealing with our clients distraught/depressed employees and taking 30+ calls a day. - HR is an embarrassment - they're unavailable and they're so driven by the rules that they've forgotten the "human" aspect of HR. - Many of the problems stem from the CEO's antiquated thinking and he honestly believes allowing employees to wear jeans everyday is going to fix all the internal issues at CP. -Turnover is rampant - the TA team can't fill seats fast enough to keep up with the amount of people leaving. Also, don't be fooled to think that the only people leaving are the folks on the phones. Tenured, senior employees are choosing to leave because of some of the business practices at CP. -Exempt employees have to clock-in and clock-out every day! They claim it's necessary because it's how your PTO is calculated, BUT a million other companies don't ask that of their employees and are still able to calculate PTO. A very strange and demeaning practice!! Honestly, there are so many better places you can work in Chicago. Companies that understand what it takes to keep employees engaged and happy...go find them and stay away from compsych!
