Pros

Great benefits, Monday through Friday shifts,

Cons

Union environment, No matter how good numbers are they always find things to get you in trouble for. All rules are black and white, It doesn't matter any circumstances there are no exceptions. They take away ways to make sales and still raise numbers. Will have contests for rewards then take them back after you have won it because they are too busy to let you off phones. When hired you are told it is a sales job but you are 90% customer service with sales every now and then

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
