Don't expect vacation anytime soon

Pros

Plenty of pros working here and honestly I'm on day 180 with before today no complaints. - Easy work - Decent pay - 1 day of the week optional shift (great for call center sanity) - lots of promotion opportunities

Cons

The main reason for this review is the vacation time cons. There are more cons and I will list as well. - Temp employees do not get vacation time after 90 days. they convert to perm employees THEN wait an additional 90 days to get PTO - Any unscheduled Time Off will count as 1 occurrence (you get 3 total)... In addition to the occurrence they will also consume 8 hours of PTO time from your bank (this information is not given freely, if you do not read "page45" of the employee handbook you will not know you are loosing your PTO/UTO) I have worked 180 days Constantly checking on my PTO looking forward to a vacation just for the company to metaphorically spit all over my hard work at the 180day mark and realize I have no PTO due to days called off in the past. - Silly Policies like "No Phones in the Bathroom" lower my personal work moral as I feel this is a rule appropriate for high-schoolers not adults. - Strongly enforced no phone policy while working (I understand the rule but have worked with companies that enforce it and companies that don't. I definitely have a higher moral when companies don't enforce it)

Pros

The only pro I can think of is that I met some really nice people.

Cons

Supervisors and Management were mean, unprofessional, thought they could say whatever they wanted to and didn't abide by the companies policies.

Pros

You get GREAT pay, an AWESOME benefits program encompassing your vision, dental, life, AND health insurance, AMAZING support staff, and best of all OPPURTUNITY to let yourself grow and explore the different roles this outstanding company has to offer. With a culture based on an idea of 'happy employees make happy customers', what's not to love?

Cons

This is indeed a call center. You get that grumpy fellow who feels he's been wronged on his bill or something from time to time. You have monthly metrics to meet, meaning your performance on the phone is measured and analyzed. You have to be able t shake your failures off and get back in the game and give yourself a fresh start to overcome those challenges. But not to worry, remember that amazing support staff I mentioned? They'll be with you every step of the way.
