Pros

Benefits, events, point system, grille, on site gym, fun people to work with.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations for meeting stats while they drop a ton of work on you. Hard to bonus and hard to move up. Amount of work they give you, with the little pay makes it not that worth it.

Pros

I was working two part time jobs before I was recommended this job... I can't tell you how grateful I am to be working for such an awesome and caring company. I love the managers and the coworkers, and of course the free food. I am looking forward to growing with company and moving up.

Cons

The grille is a hit and miss on the food, and the call volumes can get pretty crazy. Some of the customers can be pretty rude and entitled. The quality structure can be better, but we are working through that. It is very easy to burn out.
