Pros

Encourage team work and working in groups to make friends with co workers. Always having parties and fun games during the day but there is never anytime to enjoy them. Cafeteria onsite,mailbox,bank (because you have no time to go out for lunch)

Cons

Extremely strict security. If there is a line at the door to swipe in you have to wait in line and it can make you late. Cannot be 1 minute late. Penalize you for taking sick time. You must be 98% reliable. Someone must always answer the phone. Must return calls within 2 hours regardless if you are stuck on the phone with other calls or you will get audited and penalized. Extreme favortism with company policies. Do not allow you to speak your voice if you disagree with management decision. Unreasonable work load for number of employees on hand. Very stressful after hours thinking about it. Cannot take a day off otherwise will fall behind and eventually fired. no internet usage and you can't even plug anything into a socket.Management is so worried about saving their own butt they do not stick up for their employees

Pros

-Competitive starting salary (compared to other entry level positions) -Impressive health/dental benefits package -Top Notch Training -Tuition Reimbursement -Fast advancement -Fully vested (100%) after 6 years -Awesome profit sharing -24 hour gym within the building -Cafeteria with good food and reasonable prices -Given your own personal work area -Overall fun office atmosphere

Cons

-Decent but not generous vacation time. (Builds slowly). It will also max out for the year quite fast, so the option to build a great amount of vacation time is not an ability. But in the long run it is really not all that unreasonable. -Picky about personal leave. -Sick policy is different (not necessarily bad, but just a bit different) -Constant increasing goals take getting used to, but in the end is a motivational tool. So it is not technically a con.

Pros

Decent pay, so far at least 1 weekend day off a week. benefits are good.

Cons

Complete micromanagement. So much to remember and learn with the comp systems. supervisors constantly reviewing and critiquing calls. computer system is very outdated. Several programs are in an old DOS-like format and not user friendly. Schedules and constantly being changed on you. You have to be on the phone all the time. In sales your performance is based on luck more than anything many of the times.
