Pros

Extremely flexible work environment--I can work from home when the weather is bad and it's unsafe to travel or if I'm not feeling well, which is a huge plus. You can also work in a variety of places on-campus besides just your desk--lots of cool collaborative spaces, and my favorite is the art gallery. Great coworkers and great people who love what they do and care about doing what's best for customers. Good benefits and fair compensation for your experience. Senior leaders are very open and approachable and willing to answer questions--I've had at least 3 opportunities to network or attend Q&A sessions in the 9 months I've been here so far.

Cons

At this point, I honestly have none. I've had the best possible first "real" job experience a person could ask for. I suppose we still need to catch up with better technology tools in some places but that's always a work in progress.

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.
