No development bad managers

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Liked working from home 2 to 3 days a week. Got more work done as open office space was very distracting.

Cons

Poor managers. My experience with two managers one gave little feedback and showed no interest in my development, the second had little people management experience and was an outright bully. I received little respect for the knowledge and prior industry experience. High stress environment with loads of overtime working on regulatory consent order. I was given key role on project but had no support, recognition and had to deal with an inexperienced poor manager. Benefits are okay but I left for better pay and benefits. More men in senior manager and higher roles and no real initiatives to support women.

Pros

Their benefits are the only good thing about this company. If you need benefits and don't mind being bored all day, this is the place for you.

Cons

The most repetitive job I have ever had. Their wages are not competitive with other call centers. If you want to advance your career, you better know the right people there.

Best place for a career in military!

Business Outlook

Pros

none, none, none , none, none, none, none

Cons

1) Lots of former ex military officers working as managers, who treat you like garbage. 2) Lots of coworkers, who backbite, fight and complain about each other rather than working as a team. 3) High school type of environment where everyone keeps an eye on each other. 4) Higher management treats you like their children, and dictate your eating time, pooping time, internet time, breakfast time, leaving time down to the letter. 5) Extremely low pay 6) Horrible culture 7) Unnecessary corporate crap where permission is required even to go to washroom. This place is enough to send you on therapy for life. Im glad i am out!. Stay away
