Pros

I would say that there's a lot of excitement in the beginning. Lots of training and such. However one quickly realizes that the company is a horrible place to work.

Cons

Frequent layoffs and no room for growth. Employees are treated like cattle, not people. Not happy.

Pros

Decent office location. Accommodating schedules. Great paid training course. Cafeteria in the building. Comfortable desks.

Cons

80% of inbound calls were from the moron's who just pressed 0 to speak to an operator. The problem is that operator duties were never mentioned in the job description. Spent most of your day warm transferring people through the puzzle that was the internal directory. Complete hen-house at mid-management.

Pros

Great people, nice location, spacious office

Cons

likely no room for growth if you are starting off in a satellite office. You would want to move to head office for growth. They work you very hard. Raises are less than inflation yr after yr. It is hard to have your manager in another office than you, they do not realize how busy you really are.
