Pros

The work itself isn't inherently difficult, but it can be interesting and rewarding, and you always have an opportunity to help someone. The people and environment make it a wonderful place to work.

Cons

The money is beyond terrible, and individual performance appears to have little bearing on advancement or raises. If I could give compensation & benefits a 0, I would. Livable wages come at the supervisory/management level, and opportunities for that sort of advancement are scant despite attrition rates.

Pros

There were many nice people there and they had a lot of respect for each other

Cons

They don't tell you that a "Customer Experience Specialist" is more about aggressively selling their credit card and rewards program, and less about the customer experience. They don't tell you, in the interview, that they have quotas for employees to sign people up on their credit card. They don't tell you that you and your department will be evaluated on how many customers you can sign up (even if you're part-time, temporary, seasonal). They don't tell you that after less than a week of part-time working there, they'll bombard you with expectations about pushing customers to sign up for their products.
