Pros

-Beer Fridays - Weekly Mentor lunch paid - Casual dress - Friendly management - Good PTO (up to 15 days) - Holiday bonus

Cons

- Can be too casual with new hires - Too lenient with people who cannot be there on time or when scheduled - Office space isn't kept clean (stains all over carpet, never cleaned, in call center) - Kitchen was similar, the workers there mostly didn't care about cleaning up, especially dishes. - Severe lack of communication through the chain of command to the call center reps. - Less pay across the board compared to other companies for same positions.

Pros

I worked in the call center for nearly a year before leaving on my own terms in good standing with the company. They're flexible with hours - I was a student as were some other call center employees and management was very understanding, as long as you worked full time @ 40 hours a week (no part time work). Other perks include free coffee, beer on Fridays, paid team outings, paid holidays, good insurance coverage, a free security system/monitoring and "unlimited overtime". The location is great-it's downtown and close walking distance to State, Government Center, and Park St stations. Lots of lunch options nearby.

Cons

- The overtime was not actually unlimited - when I actually started working doubles to take advantage of the overtime, management changed the rules to limit the overtime. - The work itself was SOUL draining. I don't know how people last more than a year here, which may explain why the turnover is so high. Everyone is trained differently and told different information from their supervisors/leads and there are several issues customers call about that many call center employees don't know the correct info about. There are way too many times that I've heard "Oh everyone thinks that but it's actually not true" or "Yes the Intranet says that but it's incorrect" and the incorrect info stays on the Intranet where employees continue to read it and relay incorrect info to customers. - The systems are ridden with issues. Some customers have to call in every week and, as you can imagine, are pissed about it. - Awful communication. The marketing dept will launch a new campaign and the call center employees will have idea which looks bad to customers. - Large groups of workers would get fired every few weeks and everyone would stress about whether or not they'd still have a job at the end of the month. - Apparently the office has had a bedbug infestation since March 2017 and management has kept it quiet, causing call center employees to unwittingly take home parisitic bugs...not surprising at all.
