Pros

Benefits - insurance, 401K, stock purchase plans were great. Some managers were really easy to work with. Liked the fact they promoted 'green'

Cons

Lord help you if you get sick and don't call in 24 hours in advance. Even with a doctor's note stating that you should not work, you were written up if you didn't have permission to be out beforehand. The center I was in was nothing but one person giving another their cold. Each day 2 - 3 people would be sick, but no one would call in for fear of being 'dinged'. I personally think that all "lead" positions are a waste of resources for this company. They sit and talk among themselves, but yell (scream is a better word) from the back of the room if someone goes off the in-bound phone to assist a customer who calls in on a direct number. I have seen these "leads" - who never once worked a day in customer service - chase someone down who was in the restroom to tell them they were in the 'wrong status' to be in the restroom. These same leads don't think twice about calling in, arriving late, etc, with no penalties, nor do they ever pick up a phone - even with calls waiting. This company allows districts to have different policies than the corporate ones. Make the policies uniform and get rid of all the human resources people that you have at each district. One center does not need 3 HR people.

Pros

to be honest no pros.

Cons

Working here was stressful, I was starting to deal with anxiety and panic attacks especially when dealing with my Supervisor who was awful since the moment he arrived. I'm one to always be respectful no matter what but at some point you loose respect and you can't allow anyone to disrespect doesn't matter if he's your boss. They fire the hard working people while keeping the ones that do more damage in the work place. Ones that could hurt other employees yet nothing was done while firing the good ones. The Manager that arrived before I was let go was even worst! I wasn't sure what I needed to let her know or not know because since day one when I communicated with her she just brushed me off and never got back to me about anything or she told me to take her off all the emails she was attached to. Then threaten me on an email if I didn't show up to work when I had requested a day off. I mean there's a lot more I can say about both of them. Now about HR... after I was let go I requested termination documents and personnel file in January I waited a month to do a follow up got the run arounds then I was told they were going to get back to me. I waited and did another follow up they ignored my email I did another follow up and got ignored again we are now in April still nothing.
