Pros

Stable employment, good benefits. The place is family friendly. Management is very honest. Good place to invest your money.

Cons

Low pay. If you are an aggressive individual and want to do well, this is not the place for you. They put limitations on individuals. I worked there for more than 15 years and worked very hard for them but was never treated right. You just don't know when they will like you or not like you.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
