Pros

As a student worker, I don't put much into this job. The nice thing is they are flexible/forgiving with my class schedule. They don't give me a hard time if I cannot come in. I've never seen or heard the managers bad-mouth each other or the company or their job. It upholds the integrity of the company. Hard workers are noticed and favored.

Cons

There are so many people on call that I have to jump on hours sometimes. Other people I work with on my level can be "slow"-smart/efficient workers are left to pick up the slack. Laziness goes unpunished. Immediate supervisors just want the work done and don't delegate responsibilities evenly, so some people get away with sitting around.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
