Pros

Friendly atmosphere, everyone seemed to get along well. Good training program, management was very forthcoming and honest. Over all not a bad experience, would recommend the job to someone looking for something in the area.

Cons

Pay was decent but not competitive enough, I ended up taking a job working from home for the same amount - the commute. Hired on through a temp agency as most tech jobs are in the area; so it looks like the same routine get hired stay for ever never get hired on.

Pros

The pay was competitive. They have been working hard on increasing positive employee morale for about 6 months or so and recognizing employees. They are always looking to improve. They are growing. Vacation/sick time is decent.

Cons

It's a very political environment. The managers/directors don't stand behind their employees. They will throw you under the bus to save themselves. There are some incompetent managers. If someone has been there a long time (10 years or more), there's a sense of security and it's hard to get rid of those people no matter what they do. Less diversity the higher up you go in management. High turnover. The medical benefits are not great.Paid holidays could be better. No 401K matching. I found that I had less respect for a financial company like them. I knew what I was going into but more products and services they offered, the more I felt that they were taking advantage of people instead of helping.

Pros

It is not a difficult job and the hours are decent. They are closed on Sundays, so that will always be one of your days off.

Cons

It can be a little monotonous at times. There is a lot of pressure to collect debts from people, which isn't always pleasant, but it is part of the job.
