Pros

Got to learn a lot in the begining. Technology was innovative. Excellent benefits. Great mentors that pull you along very well. Kind of flexible hours. No parking problems.

Cons

Heavy micro management. No room for growth. You do similar stuff for years. Late to market. Low pay. Review system is terrible. Only designed to find flaws. Low raises, low bonuses, if any. No room for promotions. Very conservative upper management all the way.

Pros

Monday through Friday schedule. Excellent health benefits. Great coworkers. No pressure to rush customers off the phone. No script to use for calls.

Cons

Few opportunities to do anything besides work at the call center once you start there. Very small annual pay increase. Low hourly pay. Sasquatch and a Garmin bonus have something in common. Repetitive tasks (Day mostly consists of coaching older people on how to use a computer). A lot of time is wasted looking for devices at your coworkers cubicles (Employees are only issued a few devices) Hold times often get very long and make customers irritable by the time they speak with you.
