Pros

My 3 easy top favorites of working with the company include: *The co-workers and management were always there when they felt that they could help you improve in certain ways or that they also felt the same way back in such a team building way. *The team events that the company would randomly put together after busy days just for moral support and to show how much that everyone cares so much. *The culture and also the 4 values that everyone working for 1-800 feels like they're contributing to the team and also working as a team.

Cons

The pay was okay, but raises in business and the state of new ways of current life really made it a bit harder to justify staying and start looking for a new adventure.

Pros

Good culture. Great benefits for employees.

Cons

Pay could have been better, and the amount of people at lower levels attempting to move into higher positions could at times be oversaturated, but not terrible.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We really value all feedback – it's how we get better. We'll definitely pass along your thoughts to our Customer Department leadership team. Or, even better (because you can add more perspective and help us understand your specific pain points), you can reach out to your business partner (or any member of the People Department) to discuss your concerns. We'd love to get specifics on your comment about unrealistic expectations. We're here to help and want to make sure you and all of our people are getting the tools and resources needed to succeed. And we agree. We've got some pretty nice folks working here, and Seemore, of course, is great. :) Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.
