Pros

The ability to say you have a job

Poor leadership from Corporate, leaves employee's to fend for themselves, no work life balance. Very poor pay structure for non corporate employee's. Leadership is horrific. Working conditions are poor.

Truly mind numbing

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Promotions are readily available to those interested due to the high turnover environment. During most of my career there were openings at every level somewhere in the country.

Cons

The culture is absolutely brutal. Goals are set arbitrarily with the exception of those in the inner circle. Then when goals are not met, blood is quickly shed. You might be a great performer in another organization, but when you're set to fail there can only be one conclusion. If you do not think it will happen to you...well then ask to see their turnover statistics. There's a reason that most managers and supervisors do not last 2 years. Even some of the ones who do succeed and are recognized as winners are terminated the following year. Do right by yourself and don't sign on with these jokers.

Great company, terrible management

Contact center representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company offers medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as 401k. I love the indoor setting, and the ability to work with a very diverse set of customers

Cons

The company has terrible management. I would really suggest that corporate takes a good look at the supervisors, and council them accordingly. I would consider hiring a current representative to train the new reps, as the trainers in the past have been very ignorant as to what our jobs entail, and processes and procedures of the contact center. It is very hard to advance within the company, mainly because HR throws a fit whenever someone tries to advance.
