Rewarding if you are self motivated and a people person.

Customer service representative

Pros

Busy environment lots to do. No need to clock watch. Job becomes repetitive and very easy once you have the routine down. Sense of accomplishment when duties are completed.

Cons

Management is always implementing changes and structures, No consistency and very frustrating. Not enough time to do inventory monthly and handle customer needs. Mistakes made out of human error and lack of help or proper structure in place are unforgivable and finger pointing happens. CSR always gets the blame for demanding, bad communicating salesmen. Salesmen will whine to manager about benign things and are blown out of proportion. Needs to be more teamwork and less blame and morale will be better.

Leadership Constantly Changing

Pros

Insurance is super cheap but I can't speak to the quality. 10 holidays - 2 floating, other 8 are typical US holidays. Based on my current position I have a great work life balance. Great location in Downers Grove. Industry leader.

Cons

Constant leadership changes, changes the structure of overall business and the focus. Change resistant culture makes opportunity for improvememt overly difficult. We complicate anything and everything which makes basics hard to understand and follow.

Pros

Great long-term employees who really care about the company and about one another

Cons

The current crop of executives believe they have the keys to increased profitability, yet for all their profound changes to the company, profits remain flat at best.
