Pros

Job security Descent place to launch into the industry Loyal clients Descent retirement benefits Work hard or rest on your laurels, the pay will pretty much be the same

Cons

Low pay "Pay for Performance" is the wrong message to position right after cutting salaries by 20% Emphasis on diversity over competency Meaningless projects when call volumes drop Inability to appropriately define and monitor job metrics Good ideas are often ignored without justification Crew v. Management mentality

Pros

- Pretty good medical benefits - Company matches 401 K at 4%, 10% retirement plan contribution made quarterly by the company - Good paid time off accrual - Good tuition reimbursement program ($10K a year) - Low expectations of employees, good place to get your feet wet in the industry.

Cons

- Low employee morale, especially with higher levels and/or more tenured employees who have seen more. - Reviews are very subjective and bonuses are decided by how much your managers likes you compared to your peers. - While there are "in crowds" everywhere, they are here too. - Very inexperienced managment team once you leave PA and the highest ranks, most management members are under 50 with the majority under 40. This might cause some of the issues. - Once you escape the phone jobs, you are considered exempt for the most part and aren't paid OT for hours worked above 37.50

Completely mucked me around. I would give no stars if an option.

Pros

I liked the hiring manager I met during the process.

Cons

After receiving a conditional offer and completing background checks, my role was mysteriously withdrawn. This completely messed up my progression, and has put me in an incredibly stressful situation just before Christmas. Yes, you're legally entitled to act this way as a company. But you are playing with people's lives. Completely unethical and soulless. Promised me an exciting role and then pulled the rug out from under me for 'budgetary reasons', after getting me to complete background checks and references.
