Pros

The onsite food, free eye exams and work from home ability are great.

Cons

Management is the worst. They are hired based on who they know and their allegiance to the main directors, NOT their ability to lead. They read our team chats and emails every day so we can't have open and honest communication with our peers. Recently, management received overwhelming feedback from a survey begging for more communication from them. Their answer was to take away the only communication we get regarding our quality auditing and tell us to guess what we did wrong. They also took away our ability to challenge calls that are graded unfairly. They did set up an email box that sends us updates on our own marketing strategies 1-2 a week. If you disagree with an M2 or AD, you will be spied on and a case built against you. Threats and intimidation have become the norm.
