Pros

The benefits are world class and include a pension which is the reason I started work here in the first place. It’s also very diverse and LGBTQ friendly.

Cons

At the end of 2017 it was announced that the call center in Tacoma, WA would be shut down. We were all called to building wide meeting in the middle of the day and told simply that we’d close down operations at that location. We were told when, if we’d still have jobs elsewhere, nothing and were then expected to go back to work and act like everything was fine. For months on end we didn’t know anything and during that time there were know counselors to talk to and moral was so low that a large number of the building quit. We were finally told that we would have to reapply for our jobs at other locations and it wasn’t a guarantee that we’d keep our jobs. I understand it’s just business when it comes to closures but the way they handled it was all wrong. They ruined so many people’s lives and the people that are left are exhausted from constant call queue’s and mandatory overtime every week. There is no moral and no one cares.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
