Pros

Good benefits, somewhat decent pay, and the training is pretty good, but there is definitely room for improvement. Benefits start on day one.

Cons

No opportunity for growth, major micromanagement, help is only available during scheduled "question time", lots of favoratism, and a very heavy and stressful workload. Some managers don't even know how to do the job of the people they manage. They just look at reports and listen to your phone calls and spy on your computer.
