      Good for college grads but not experienced people

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - benefits - opportunities. Once you are there for nine months you can post in other positions and people were taking new positions all the time. - I said good for college grads because you start off with a low salary and entry level position but if you have the time (3-5 years) I could see someone becoming highly successful - If you like OT, then offer a lot of it

      Cons

      - Inconsistent information. I was told the hourly wages during the interview and come offer time it was less then discussed and not negotiable. - The department I was in had no direction and was in constant flux - No feedback or direction from Team Leaders - Did not like the incentive plan. No matter how hard you worked the statistics were never accurate and a lot of your figures came from accounts colleagues resolved - In order to be a top performer and get better incentive you would need to work a lot of OT - There were different policy from team to team in the department, no consistency

      Over time, I was mentally and emotionally broken down

      Pros

      Good benefits and pay, competitive

      Cons

      If you didn't hit goal, you were put down and even yelled at by some supervisors. If you are not a top performer or if you don't hit goal very often, supervisors and seniors treat you like you have little intelligence and publicly embarrass you. Not every employee is treated fairly, even though they are supposed to be. If you are a favorite of your supervisor or other upper management, you can get away with just about anything. If you are not a favorite, you can't.
