Pros

Better pay than most call centers with a pretty good enviroment at the center itself. Most of the team leaders are very solid. The company itself is organized well, and its great to work at a company that works. Very merit based. Overall one of the better call centers in the country I would guess.

Cons

It is a call center and that is a huge downside due to the nature of the work. The constant measurement of progress, and high expectations can be stressful. Time off is very difficult to imposssible to get off unless you plan months a head. Currently there is no availble time off for the rest of the year. The team managers (my supervisors supervisors) seem to be less compentent than many of the team supervisors. No advancement outside of the call center, and the advancement within the call center is pretty competative. Also the "company values" of taking invoation from anywhere in the company is a little bit of BS. I and others have made recomendations that don't leave the call center to corprate. I have even been told by a team manager to not waste my time thinking of call drivers or to come up with ideas as "people with advanced degrees are already doing that."

Pros

Pay Lots of smart people around you all working as hard as you do to make company succeed Strangers say "I love that company", this will always make you feel good

Cons

Always on -- blackberries are assigned on entrance to corporate and you can bet your bottom dollar that no matter where you are, you will be expected to at least stay on top of the latest, if not participate. Hyper insular culture -- the fallacy of success pervades this company like no other. VPs are never wrong, even when they are, because the companies' success surely must be a reflection of the VPs and C level people's prior decisions. Challenge the VPs more than once and you will be sure not to last too long Related to always on: incessant pressure. Since as early as the first round interviews you are informed that you may be let go any day for any reason, you will spend at the least the first 12 months in chronic fear. Once out of the first 12 months, you will always hear that voice in the back of your head say, "you better work harder or the ax may fall tomorrow."
