Nice People but Humpty Dumpty CS Management

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues to deal with. Short Fridays. Free bagels.

Cons

Customer Service Department is features many short term hires who come and go. The CS department is an egg head like department that is run reactively rather than proactively. Meetings only feature management heads talking in a drill sergeants sort of way rather than asking questions and advice from personnel.
