Pros

Time off, flexibility and benefits are the ONLY pros. I have only worked in corporate America and this BY FAR the absolute worst, unmotivating company. You have us working on 2 desk tops like it’s 1997. Can’t even sit outside to work on a laptop bc we don’t get them.

Cons

Everything. Unsure how this place has lasted this long. Management is ancient, does nothing to keep up with the times or keep up with statistics in the industry. The only thing they do is listen to every call and micro manage. They won’t help you because they are too busy listening to your calls. Sales goals are NOT attainable. They increase yearly and take more away from the clients, who are all going to competitors. There is NO growth- absolute lies if they tell you otherwise. People are here 15+ years with full regret of never leaving and being in the same position bc it’s the only option. No bonus unless the ENTIRE company makes their numbers, which they won’t because it’s impossible based on lies to investors. Please keep looking, do not listen to their lies to get you to work here. RUN.

Pros

How many seasonal get a 401k with match!? Get breaks when school is off for summer or school holidays (good if you have kids). Least stressful job I’ve ever worked. Just do your assigned tasks and you’re golden. Great pay for the work.

Cons

No medical benefits (for seasonal at least). Sometimes you work with people lacking basic skills.
