Pros

This is seriously the Mercedes Benz of call centers. There is no micro management. You can be yourself on the phone. We are empowered to take care of the customer without having to put them on hold to 'ask a supervisor.' With an onsite fitness center, onsite grille (with highly subsidized food), tuition reimbursement, benefits, development opportunities, etc., this place is outstanding.

Cons

Don't get me wrong, it's not always sunshine and roses working in a call center. You can deal with some upset customers every now and then- but that's just part of the job. Plus the number of angry customers I've dealt with is no where in the ballpark of other call centers. For the most part, customers are amazing which makes the job fun and fairly easy.

Pros

1-800 Contacts takes customer service to a whole new level, and that mission carries over to the employees as well. I've never encountered a company that invests so much in their own employees- it made leaving very hard.

Cons

I really can't think of any cons

Pros

i love the environment. The restaurant rocks, and i love the benefits! They help me pay for college and my new young family. The pay is great to start out and what i love about this business is that if you are working harder than the guy next to you, you don't get paid the same as him, you get paid more! The values of the company are amazing. We really get a lot of opportunities and given power to help the customer simply be happier.

Cons

I think everything is great!
