Pros

Great culture and values (company genuinely cares about customers), good benefits (especially PTO- 20 days/yr for new full-time employees), enjoyable atmosphere. The company is very committed to work-life balance.

Cons

Low salaries compared to similar positions with other companies, horrendous turnover rate (less than 25% of my training group is with the company less than 1 year in), few opportunities to branch out beyond customer service-related positions

Pros

Good company, lots of great people, great benefits, incentives, etc, great place to get experience trying out a bunch of different roles and job types.

Cons

Pay can be on the low side, culture of "taking your lumps" and putting in your time to get promoted, many managers have been there years and years and aren't going anywhere soon, certain business units have "what have you done for me lately" culture, at VP level some are arrogant and nasty with no fear of consequence, can get very political, culture has people "drinking the kool aid" of being afraid to quit especially at the coach/team leader level.

Not honest about the role

Pros

Time off and not having stress on the job

Cons

You won't do what they say you will do. Top guy in the marketing analytics group said they don't like to hear talk about statistical significance because it doesn't matter compared to the idea of the marketing program. They should probably go back to the 1990s in that case because all the advanced tools in the world don't matter if you don't know how to use them and management doesn't care about what they spend money on.
