Pros
The pay seems to be good for being a "call center job." The annual bonus plus the fact that you are not on commission also makes the job a bit more manageable.
Cons
The lack of growth is my biggest gripe. I have literally been doing the same job since the day I got here. The opportunities to grow into other areas are next to nil. There are employees that spend their ENTIRE career in the same call center job. This notion is very depressing. In addition, there is a tremendous push on sales. Regardless of how the call goes, you are expected to uncover something, which means asking a lot of crazy questions to "uncover needs." Based on what you find out, you attempt to convince the member to accept a referral. Unfortunately, this causes many colleagues to use questionable strategies to get members to accept referrals at all costs. And as you can imagine, you are measured based on your numbers/statistics. This involves how close you adhere to your schedule, referrals extended/accepted and other products depending on your specific job/expertise. Unfortunately, It seems like your intelligence/education/professional background are not valued much if you are working the phones.
