Pros

The chairs are cozy and the coworkers are pretty cool most of the time. Other than that, nothing really.

Cons

Where do I start? This is the most vile, evil, cold company I have ever worked for. I work in the call center and had worked there for three and a half years, I can tell you first hand, they care nothing about their employees or their customers. On our first day of training we are told to say whatever we have to say to our customers to make them happy or get the sale, even if it's a lie. Things were kind of okay in the call centers until they created several levels of customer service, hold times for the customer more than quadrupled just to get to the first person who can't and won't help you. They will then transfer you again to a higher up department where they sit on hold for another 20 minutes just for us to give them no resolution and just tell them the branch would be emailed. The branches look at the call center as incompetent morons but we only do as we are told from management. They over work the techs on the field sometimes having 30+ stops a day on their schedules and still tell us to schedule more if it's available. No wonder there's such an issue with techs not showing to appointments, sometimes the drive between stops is close to if not more than an hour. Bottom line is, if you're a robot and don't need to eat, drink, go to the bathroom, or breathe then this job is great for you.

Pros

Great co-workers, immediate supervisors and customers. Many of the branch employees are solid people who work very hard in the field. Decent benefits.

Cons

Upper management cares only about the bottom line; this is born out of a "profits before people" mentality. Management will weed out people who don't conform to their metrics, regardless of how many other great qualities these employees may possess. Their contact centers are run with an iron fist and there is a definite culture of fear. Not recommended as a career path unless you are a Machiavellian sociopath who will do whatever it takes to get ahead.

Pros

The pro is they pay gas and tolls but if something happens to your tires replacing is on you with promise of reimbursement which will never happen. Ez pass is frequently low balance when it doesn't work you will have to come out of pocket and will never be reimbursed.

Cons

no work life balance. never allowed to use vacation days. no set schedule you could be in bk about to go over the bridge at 7pm and get a call to go back to queens.You will not be paid for the drive home sometimes traffic will make the ride take 2 hours plus . managers dont care about you as a person you are just a way for them to get their bonuses. They will short your hours every chance they get. You will probably never be reimbursed for the hours you miss. Stay away the job will ruin your life.
