Pros

you get to sit down a lot, they offer benefits standard to other employers, it's not a difficult job, every day is pretty much the same

Cons

management was very disrespectful, too much pressure to achieve unrealistic results, two-faced expectations, very long hours and you don't always have the help you need at your center, I felt underpaid and overworked a lot of the time, if customers wouldn't answer their phones you got blamed for poor collections

Pros

I started with Advance America in 2002 when they had great leaders paving the way and everyone was treated fairly, both employees and customers.

Cons

Current Regional and Executive Managers don't have a clue on how to run the company and they treat everyone with ZERO RESPECT!!!

Competitive Pay

Pros

There has been several improvements throughout the years, especially after the pandemic. Like work life balance in regards to hours. So that's good.

Cons

But having a decent work-life balance getting out at 6:00 on weekdays and 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays can only get you so far when the cost of living is so high up and the expenses and the cost of everything else like food gasoline is so high up. It becomes an issue if your employer is not a competitive payer. When fellow employees start seeing that other companies are starting $3 above what we start. For example, we're at 15 and other companies are starting at 18 that becomes an issue. Not only that, but management needs to be getting paid a lot more than they are now. There's other places that do less than us and get paid more than us. It doesn't make sense.
