Pros

Life/work balance was exceptional, no rigid dictates about hours (outside the call center). People were friendly and welcoming. Rich tradition.

Cons

Management comes up from the ranks, little incentive for them to look outside the company for development. No commitment to diversity and a haphazard approach to learning. Quite siloed.

Cons

In Customer Service role, your hours can change weekly Adherence to your phone is monitored and very strict...unachievable for many Little room for advancement unless you're young and male, or a son of a manager.
