Pros

The employer is very flexible with hours, and will work around your home/school life to make sure you can balance personal time with work time. It's a great place to start entry-level over-the-phone customer service, as any other phone service rep centers in the area require previous experience. While the employee turnout rate is high (mostly because of employees abandoning work or moving) so is the promotion rate, so chances of being promoted within six months (provided you meet your given job metrics regularly) is very good. Opportunities are offered to transfer to other departments if you find you're not satisfied with the product support you're giving and would like to try something else. Training is paid and employees really help each other with making sure everyone has transportation to and from work.

Cons

While helping customers is rewarding, dealing with customers who aren't totally honest (or even sober) can be frustrating, and much of the work is monotonous. If you're not very good with computers or slow at typing you're going to have a difficult time keeping up, as all work is done at a terminal and requires documentation of every call to be typed as you're working with the customer. If you work during 2nd or 3rd shifts there is no public transportation available after 2nd shift starts, and if you live anywhere other than downtown Columbus you must first take a bus downtown, which can make traveling time as long as two hours.

Pros

For the most part, I have an open availability. I do however, like not having to work on Sundays. Some campains allow for a 1 hour lunch break. The hiring process was fairly easy. Your equipment is provided. There is opportunity for advancement. They are helpful when it comes to license renewal. Calls are back to back which for me seems to make time go faster. Flexibly as to when you want to take your lunch break. You have to opportunity to assist people without having to feel it was rushed. Off all major holidays.

Cons

Rushed training that may leave some questions unanswered. I feel like I had to figure things out on my own. Getting the assistance you need to help a client took longer than it should, especially when the client is on on hold, waiting for your response. At times some trainers seem to be unprepared for the roll they have taken. Calls are frequently monitored. Not much time between calls. It can take too long to transition from on campain to the next after the project has ended.
