Pros

Very quick to recognize top performers and they reward well for it. Lots of interaction with upper management and your voice is heard.

Cons

The typical cons you see with a lot of call center jobs but the company does a pretty good job of creating a positive environment and everyone on the floor genuinely seems happy to be there.
