Pros

My co-workers are what kept me there so long.

Cons

Management is a joke. They were extreme micromanagers and very cliquey with each other. They made it known who they favored and many deserving associates couldn't progress in their roles simply because they weren't favored. You have to take your breaks and lunches at the exact times they schedule you for (which differed every day) and if you got stuck on a call and went on break late, it would negatively affect your numbers - which ultimately decided your bonus. This place is a sweatshop. You are expected to take non stop calls your entire shift. There is no break in between calls so you aren't even left with time to make notes on the customers accounts you just spoke to - as soon as they hang up, another call immediately comes through with no choice to decline the call. On average there is at least a 5-10 minute wait for customers to get through to a representative. Customers are already aggravated by the time you speak to them - it's like the company sets you up for failure. They clearly need to hire more people for the role. The turnover rate is so high because employees are so unhappy. Glad I'm out of there.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
