Pros

Salary's are competitive. They offer a lot of perks like discount meals in the cafeteria, free soda, film festivals, and onsite gym with personal trainers. The environment is good to work in. Innovation is important.

Cons

I don't really have much to complain about. We have one bad apple, but it doesn't spoil the bunch for most.

Pros

The benefits are good but the wages are not very high. This is a great job for students but it's hard for me to see it as a place to grow.

Cons

Your either in or out of the stereotype they want, If you are outside it is harder to grow. I've seen a lot of talented hardworking people disregarded just because they were not a certain way.

Just another call center

Recommend

Pros

The lunch room, gym, schedule flexibility, and summer party are great perks of the company. They work hard to make sure their employees are taken care of in that respect. As a general call center or Rx agent, it allows you to maintain a good balance between home life and work.

Cons

This is just another call center that is a good option for people who want schedule flexibility, either for going to school, single parents, or a part-time job. Long-term careers are not really much of an option, and the pay is poor in comparison to other call centers. They'll try to tell you that other companies won't treat you as well, but don't believe it. There are better jobs out there.
