Pros

Great pay Work from home The job is easy, just really awful Coworkers are great Equipment provided There's lots of ladders to climb in any direction, anywhere in the company.

Cons

Policies are strict and zero tolerance. While some supervisors will work with you in one off situations, others will fire you no questions asked. Those same supervisors will encourage you to get FMLA for medical exemptions, then bully you out of using it or find a loophole to fire you for it. You need a doctor's note to provide to HR to clock out and use the restroom. They will fire you if you go pee without one. PTO is use it or lose it within the same calendar year, it's inevitable that you will lose a chunk every year. Even what you accrued in December. It's a call center, you should know up front most people who call are already mad. It's a given. You don't get a breather. The call ends, another starts and there is no reset. Hopefully the previous caller wasn't that mean.

Pros

We used to have to come in every morning and stay in the office for at least an hour, then go out into the field, come back at least an hour before 5pm and stay in the office. They changed it so we only have to come in in the morning and it's so much nicer.

Cons

I really didn't get along with the sales manager. On my first day, the manager who hired me announced he was leaving. About two weeks into my employment, the new sales manager wanted to make crazy changes to show his authority. It went downhill from there. He made major cutbacks and the things he kept where supposed to be thought of as gifts, such as bottled water.
