Pros

Some of the people are nice

Cons

Training is TERRIBLE! Trainers and Team leads are pre-occupied when instructing. Learning how to use a system during a customer interaction is a dis-service to the customer. No materials giving real examples of how to fix issues only references to articles to support what you are being critiqued on. Grueling rating system that unless you have call center experience is no confidence builder after the first time on the phones. Training materials not available for some until the end of the training sessions and others days into training. How is anyone expected to follow along and be successful. Unable to update key software applications without taking time away to contact help desk. (Ex. word processing, presentation, spreadsheet) While to tone is sincere the message is not one to make you believe what is being said is meant. I'm a little disappointed to be a customer of the company I am representing because of the way things are handled. I've spoke to several who speak of being promoted right out of the training class, but that opportunity isn't available to you so don't worry about it. Wrong message is being sent, don't bring it up. Acronyms still haven't been explained! I understand how turnover in these positions is so high.

Pros

Pros? LOL You have got to be kidding there is not a single pro that this company has, it was a living nightmare i seriously do not even know where to begin, I can go on for years about everything that is wrong with this company

Cons

Management sucks, training sucks, the company doesn't care about you, you have no benefits what so ever, you're treated like a red headed step child

Pros

Provides equipment, at one point provided perks, most of the supervisors are great. At one point felt like they cared about their employees.

Cons

They laid us all off one morning - not a single warning ahead of time. No severance pay, no payment for vacation days we had saved. Just took us into a meeting, read a script, didn't answer a single question - just kicked us off the server then locked our computers and deactivated our email account.
