Pros

Outside of the call center, the flexibility for employees is pretty good. Remote or hybrid work is almost universal. If you have the right leadership, and outside of the call center pay can be fairly good. Unfortunately that is not fairly distributed across departments.

Cons

Call Center work is always hard, CCI is no different. Low pay, difficult to explain to customer base how to troubleshoot cell phones, no flexibility in daily work schedules once you are assigned. But once you work your way out of the call center, if that's possible, then you get some sense of humanity back. Pay is disparate at best. Some departments have Senior Directors, Senior Managers etc and others are struggling to get paid the minimum for their job description. It has everything to do with the Senior Leadership in your department. The IT infrastructure is on it's last legs. Prioritizing upgrades/replacement of 30 yr old system should be the number one priority. Work arounds on top of work arounds is no way to get ahead. At some point, some of that VC money needs to be spent on replacing the IT system.
