Pros

Flexibility.....they work with you with family and school. Their paid time off is fabulous. Their benefits start the day you are hired. You don't have to wait for insurance, you are covered your first day. They pay tuition reimbursement. They have a help line if you are going through personal problems - related to work or not. They have contests all the time for very nice prizes and gift cards.

Cons

It's a phone job so you are working with the public so it can be stressful at times.

Pros

It is great for those people who have no children or family responsibilities! There are several shifts that are great for people of different work styles and needs.

Cons

There is no concern for employees with children and babysitting problems..there are so many different quotas and percentages that one has to keep track of that the real job one his hired to do must take backseat to looking good on paper not so much for the account manager but for the Team Leader...
