Pros

Free 24/7 gym with showers on site. Company has been growing steadily for the last decade while remaining debt free. Free spacious parking and located within a hundred feet of the North Quincy Red Line T-Stop. 90% of the workforce is below the age of 30 so the employees are fun, for the most part.

Cons

Pay is pretty lousy, I do not look at this as a career whatsoever. They do not care about retaining talent via proper compensation--hiring hundreds of temp-to-perm employees every year is pretty much their business plan to compensate for the high turnover. The hours are insanely rigid--you must show up at 8:00 and not a minute later, and everyone must take their unpaid lunch break from 12-1 everyday--pretty much high school all over again. The absolute worst part is the expectation to travel great lengths during dangerous weather--even if you are not essential. Mr. Hale seems to enjoy when his business is the only one that is open in Quincy during a blizzard or hurricane. My commute has taken up to 3 hours on one such occasion, and I was not paid for that time missed.

Pros

No pros what so ever.

Cons

This company and specifically the collections department have very little opportunity for growth, despite what may be promised during the hiring process. Honestly, it’s a circus. Non stop tasks are thrown at employees each day. And Goals are constantly increased so analyst can’t reach them. Employees who work hard and consistently perform well often find themselves stuck in the same position with no clear path for advancement. Promotions and opportunities never appear to be based on performance or merit. Management is one of the biggest issues. They have no clue. Favoritism is prevalent, and certain employees seem to receive special treatment, better opportunities, and more support than others. This creates a frustrating and discouraging work environment where many employees feel undervalued and overlooked. Morale suffers when performance and dedication are overlooked in favor of personal relationships and when there is little accountability for management and no transparency regarding career development. Communication from leadership is lacking, and employee concerns are not addressed. Management gets defensive when employees ask questions or disagree with their stupid decisions. Overall, it can be a VERY challenging place to build a longterm career if you are looking for fair treatment, professional growth, and strong leadership. Turnover rate is very high. Also, micro management is at an all time high. Would not even recommend this place to a college grad for entry level experience, if i could Put 0 stars, i would. For the sake of your mental health, stay far away.
