Pros

Benefits package looked OK. I only enrolled in dental and eye care, was not interested in the medical coverage as I already have coverage elsewhere.

Cons

I left the call center my first week on the floor (after 4 weeks of training) because of my supervisor. I realized my second day on the floor this was not going to work out. Apparently I took one too many potty breaks inbetween scheduled breaks, and this was a no-no. My supervisor tried telling me that they understand that sometimes people can't hold it that long but to try to minimize getting up between those scheduled breaks. This is illegal, btw. You can't stop anyone from using the bathroom. Also, adherence. Don't tell me to adhere to my schedule, ding me because I was stuck on a call that caused me to go on break late, and then be hypocritical and not adhere to your own schedule. On my second full day, before I decided that I was just going to quit, I kept looking at my adherence and customer survey scores. Yeah, no thanks. I also disliked the fact if you were in "after call work" for more than a minute your name was blasted on a list that is shown on all screens throughout the center. A place, I was told, you didn't want to end up.

Pros

Flexible times, nice associates, my supervisors made sure i had everything i needed to do my job well.

Cons

Had next to no person to person training, no team meetings so me and my associates would never be on the same page, it's terrible walkie talkies never seemed to be working so communication with lumber, garden or the front to see if they need a hand was awful. Due to the lack of proper training i've seem to be always be doing something wrong even if I thought at the time I was doing something nice so i end up getting bad image to peers and to superior and it makes me feel shameful.

Pros

If you are considering a position with HDI or HDE you would be better off waiting until they fire who ever was responsible for buying and rolling out the new scheduling software. As a long term HDE employee I am now looking for other employment. We started the year with a tax increase (no expense reimbursement, and we can no longer write off mileage). That was followed by a cut to the bonus system (strong economy, good sales and for a moderately successful rep your net commission will be reduced by 5 to 10%). They just followed that up with a new scheduling system that increases expenses to a point that if you preform on average you will loose money on some #maller ticket leads like gutters and insulation (average lead value and commission are about equal to the commuting expense, so you spend 2 1/2 hours for nothing. You would be better off pushing carts in the lot, at least there you get a paid vacation. ).

Cons

Before they screwed up the scheduling you could make good money
