Pros

Great technology and fantastic support from corporate. Corporate life in Madison, WI seems to be very developed but local offices run with their own autonomy and it is a truly bad atmosphere.

Cons

Terrible local management that corporate continues to embrace and has for many years. Local management lied to me from day one about positions, wages (both potential and realistic) and will throw anyone under the bus for professional interests or gain. Absolutely no sense of family at the local level. Lots of back stabbing that has gone on for years but corporate refuses to do anything about the local manager due to her connectivity with key managers.

Pros

This is my first call center and with my supervisor and sales coach's helping me to improve I've been successful as a rep and gotten a lot of opportunities to grow and expand my possibilities in the company.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any. Everything here is merit based, so if you show up with a willingness to work you will have plenty of opportunities.
