Pros

If you love seeing new faces, this is a great career for you, because your co workers will be constantly changing, mainly due to better job opportunities, higher pay or general low moral. Don't expect much in the way of training, mainly because why train employees when turn over is over 70% (a number from HR). The largest pro is that you will have something to do from 8:30-5pm Monday through Friday just incase you were thinking to yourself, man what can I do for those long hours. The next best pro is that you will have access to a nice black and white copier/scanner, which is super convenient when job hunting. The final thing is that you will get to read nice glossy reports of the companies success record income followed by record income, while all the time staring at your own miserably pitiful pay check, which it is debatable whether the guy flipping burgers is making more than you or not.

Cons

Largest con is that there is no one at the helm, the corporate giant doesn't really care about you. What is the point of a great work life balance if you have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet? This is a great opportunity for people who are looking for a job while their bread winning spouse brings home the bacon.

Pros

I have my own desk, our office is well organized, and my pay is fair for an entry level position. There isn't a lot of sales pressure. I have a lot of support from my team mates. Our office feels like my family. It's a very low impact as far as manual labor goes, environment. My customers although confused with our changes are great.

Cons

The company invested a lot of money into this great new system, but the bugs were not fixed before launch date leading to many awkward explanations, and corrections. Although, the system is much more efficient than the prior one, it needs faster servers to process the demand.

Pros

Friendly work environment with decent 401k plan.

Cons

Super cheap. They have a paycheck given got twice a month instead of every 2 weeks because they make extra interest off those extra few days
