Pros

Benefits: good health insurance, decent amount of time off.

Cons

I am literally in the middle of a nervous breakdown solely from my job. As in I'm out on FMLA at the direction of my psych doctor. This same doctor told me our metrics are ludicrous and that she treats so many people in my department. Why would my doctor know my work metrics? Why? Because so many patients go to her having depression and anxiety as a result. We are tracked by our mouse movements, being in the right call state, the amount of time on the phone and the time typing notes after the fact. We have to reach certain numbers of tasks. Some people are scheduled for task time. Others phone only. So we are competing to reach a goal on an uneven playing field. Did I mention that Artificial Intelligence is listening in for particular phrases? I have so much anxiety even typing this out. Am i aware that call center employees must be measured in some way? Of course. Thats normal, fair, and to be expected. But to such a unattainable extent??? Why do I stay? Because I'm so close to being vested in the pension. I can't give up now. And I'm searching for another position within the company. Please consider your mental health before accepting a position at this company. Ask yourself why the turnover rate is so high.

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
