Pros

The benefits are decent and it was reliable work from home income during the pandemic.

Cons

The role itself is designed to deal with the repercussions of technologically illiterate construction workers being forced to use an Oracle SaaS with a steep learning curve. The expectation is to keep mindlessly answering calls and thanklessly letting customers berate you with their frustrations with the service. Resources are rarely available and questions often get delayed, if any, response from peers. Management generally engages with the team with a positive attitude but gossips amongst themselves. Some managers prefer to find minutiae to penalize reps for instead of addressing larger issues that effect the entire team's workflow and morale. Promotions and raises as a whole are a facade as positions are almost always filled with outside hires. I've worked for several years and taken on several additional responsibilities than my initial job description with no increase in compensation, hoping all of it would amount to upward mobility. Even with glowing recommendations from some managers, team members, and coworkers from peripheral departments, my applications have been fruitless, usually without even a response of interest. After addressing these concerns with management, I was told to wait for more senior reps to have their chance, and to keep thanklessly picking up additional tasks and responsibilities.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
