Pros

Pay is decent and fairly nice vacation package. The multiple shift start is also nice and the 24 hour operation.

Cons

Modern day sweat shop in a nice building. Beware of a company that keeps a running ad and start a new class approx every 7/weeks with about 100 trainees. Their plan is keep about 30 of each class and dispose of 90 because they do not fit that mechanical robot type of personality. After about 6 months, they get rid o people who are not fitting into those robotic impossible metrics of 17 minutes for average handling time. Basically, without explaining to potential employees, its really a trial to see if you fit the mechanical mold that they are looking for but unfortunately, people are giving up whatever jobs they have and signing up for something that temporary without knowing. They manager informed us that if they crazy metrics are not met, they will help us to make the decision within 2 months. They need a machine to take their stupid loss reporting.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
