Pros

There is plenty of office camaraderie and fantastic benefits!

Cons

Busy season can last far longer than expected and become unwieldy, and customers can be dizzying in their demands as the company is known for being particularly flexible.

Pros

-Fun, light hearted work environment with opportunities (though no pressure) for socialization -Ability to move between departments with relative ease. Shadowing sessions are easy to coordinate -Smaller sized company means that it's easy to get to know most coworkers and to make work friends -Everybody is very open and approachable. Even the CEO -Managers prefer to coach somebody to success than to fire them -Company takes pride in it's work and it's employees -Thorough interview process weeds out a lot of bad apples -Competitive benefits package -Within Sales and Service, fairly easy to find shift coverage -Catered lunches 2x weekly -Tons of free SWAG. T-shirts, tote bags, etc. -Sales and service reps are empowered to come up with best solution for customers -Company does it's best not to feel or act like a typical call center

Cons

For sales and service... -Your day is very rigidly scheduled and every break is timed -Quotas are difficult to meet. It's difficult to provide excellent customer service AND hit a certain number of calls per day, especially when you're encouraged to design shirts while you're on the phone with the customer. -The sales and service teams are expected to do a little bit of everything, which is okay but it's better to have a department devoted exclusively to chat OR calls OR emails. My current company does this, and it's great -Training is two weeks long and gives future SS Reps limited phone exposure. More phone exposure would have been nice -Since HQ is in Virginia, there are more limited opportunities for advancement in Reno if you want to go to a dept like marketing, finance, HR, etc. -SS Reps all have to work overtime during busier seasons -Sometimes the company's "customers first" attitude breeds abusive or demanding customers. SS reps are often pressured to bend over backwards in the name of customer service, even in these situations -Young managers often started as SS rep and lack management experience -Low compensation (could be average for call center) isn't really enough to support yourself
