Pros

Decent money. Great Insurance Benefits.Decent commissions (if you can sell more products to people who are on the phone cursing you out because their current services aren't working. Then they laugh hysterically at you for trying to offer to them.) But hey, if you can sell that, this is the job for you !

Cons

Hours, Schedule and supervisor are constantly. Mandatory Overtime. All calls recorded and graded by a computer on if you said the right things and said them correctly.

Pros

Peers were kind, supportive, and friendly. Ok compensation.

Cons

Leadership was constantly changing and bringing in new employees to fix issues that wouldn't be fixed by them; the company's strategy wasn't on point. Slow promotions and career development/advancement.
