Pros

No stress, friendly coworkers, very accommodating.

Cons

Since my last review, Six job offers and one promotion have been presented. FINALLY! Seems to be a once a year thing. The job offers were a 5% raise with no negotiation. Six permanent employees quit this year. Two of which were very senior employees (well payed). The work they did was redistributed to the remaining Senior Editors. (Two were of the three hired last year. ) My point is that you are only covering for attrition. Why are the temps excluded from the free flu shots, the discounts to SeaWorld, the Christmas giveaways? Not cool for a 100yr old stable company. (SnapOn has not owned it for 100yrs so 80% of this is not theirs to take credit for) Don’t look here for long term employment. It is a great job to have while going to school or looking for something else.

Pros

Coworkers were pretty friendly and helpful and management was decent. Good product overall that they sell. It appeared you can make good money there if you can sustain your success month over month. However at least half the sales floor was not meeting quota.

Cons

No CRM system to track your customers, which is absurd for a call center this big. You make 100-200 calls a day and all of them blind. You can't see any notes on an accounts until the call connects. Horrible database that can't separate current customers from prospects, nor do they update bad numbers or contacts or even allow you to do it. I called multiple deceased former owners at auto shops(some had passed years ago) a week. Many other calls were to current customers wondering why I was calling them. Very little training at all too. I started on the phones the very first day after a couple hours of training, which is a huge red flag. Why would you want someone with very little knowledge of your company or products representing you immediately on the phones? They also have a chargeback system that allows the company to hedge their bets on you. If the customer cancels service during the first 30 days, you are charged back the full sale amount. To take that a step further, if the customer cancels in the 11th month of a 12 month contract you are charged back the full amount, no proration. Numerous sales reps had negative sales revenue numbers for most of the time I worked there. Basically you have to sell twice as much software on your monthly quota to earn the same commission amount every month. Product cancellations appear to be around 40% every month. Worst call center I have ever worked at.

Pros

If you hit your number you are untouchable.

Cons

Lack of professionalism, management is rude and shows favoritism. No real concern for the employee unless you are hitting the numbers
