Pros

- 100% remote positions available - Stable employment with a company that's been around for over 100 years - Supportive of personal development opportunities - All but 1 of my leaders were truly interested in me as a person - Highly ethical company - CEO Dan Houston is very down to earth and relatable

Cons

- Benefits are decent, but have declined in recent years - I felt pigeonholed in my role and was unsuccessful in multiple attempts to transfer to a different department/job function

Pros

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Cons

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
