Pros

The company cares for it's employees. They provide yearly opportunities to attend training classes or conferences, have subsidized meals. Management is also very understanding of challenges outside of work.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for advancement outside of a management position. The main body of employees is split between three adjacent buildings which limits interaction between business groups.

One of the unintended consequences of having such a positive and rewarding culture that results in very low turnover in our IT Department is that it can result in limited opportunities for advancement into leadership. Although this may happen, we do promote internally all the time and we're proud to say our best performers rise to the top frequently. We encourage all of our associates to meet with a member of their leadership team and / or a Human Resource representative to discuss a career pathway within the organization.

Pros

I've been training here for about a week and i love it so far. They have a great training program and an excellent outlook as a company. I was hesitant at first about working in a call center but the company is great with their customer service.

Cons

I've only been here for a week but i honestly haven't seen a single thing i don't like about the company.
