Pros

Good compensation, excellent benefits package, cafeteria and gym onsite, and they pay for education. Good work-life balance, except during the tax season. It is possible to get away without working much, and many people do.

Cons

People are mediocre at best, lazy and incompetent at worst. Managers yell, scream, and call people in to work on Saturdays. Meetings take a better portion of the day, and it's important to go and agree with the powers that be. People are punished for bad decisions, but are not rewarded for good ones, therefore it is very hard to get to a decision at all. Discussions go on for weeks and months. There is a general culture of firefighting - the most brownie points go to the person fighting the biggest fires, never mind that those are generally the people who caused the fires in the first place.

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
