Pros

The majority of the people in the mobility dep

Cons

Unrealistic workload, poor training, atmosphere of cover yourself and or pass the blame, not revealing upfront you will be on call 24/7, coaching employees not to reveal the size of their caseload to potential new clients or clients who may be up for contract renewal but to state a lower number in order to paint a picture of their ability to provide high touch customer service, expecting those in the mobility department to work on average a 40 hour week when the business is running 24/7 and provide coverage for each during vacations & call-offs etc, on client accounts for which they are not trained while maintaining their own caseload, on average 1.5 people have left this position per month over the last 2.5 years due to high dissatisfaction, unrealistic expectations, poor support from management, what can be perceived as a hostile work environment and the inevitable deterioration of ones physical, emotional and mental health

Pros

Employers seem enthusiastic when you come in, sell you on bonus and how they don’t lay off anyone. Focus on helping people.

Cons

What they really sell is a joke. First of the company is a pure click. Those there including higher ups are buddies, so there is no integrity. Then they tell you they will train you, by reading modules and give you a heavy caseload with no initial guidance. You can’t go to your manager or VP because they are all out of work buddies. So regardless of terrible training, it will always be the employees fault. They get rid of you right before a bonus. So he’s they don’t lay off people ever: they just fire you or people leave. In the summer group I was with , 1 walked out, one was fired, 3 quit after Jan. Plus two others left due to the stress and over work..only apologies but never action.

Pros

Colleagues. Ability to work from home.

Cons

Inadequate pay. Benefits are lackluster. Vacation may be denied because you can't find someone to cover you. Overtime is expected but they will tell you to log off early (even though they know you can't). Caseloads are too high and people are 'dumped on' when someone leaves. Lack of support from management - constantly hear 'it is what it is'. Many grey areas - causes monetary mistakes because there is no correct way, just many philosophies. Lack of training for the job and especially for specific cleints. Being told every week we aren't billing enough (which basically means you won't get the bonus). Lack of consistency between offices. Operations Departments don't work well together (don't listen to the reveiws that say otherwise) - its the PPCs job to keep the MSpec updated but doesn't work the other way. No work life balance. Stress level through the roof. Promotions/raises only offered once per year. Number of promotions is limtied for the department - you may bust your tail for the year and get overlooked. Nepotism is real - the golden children know who they are. High turnover. Management drinks too much koolaid and thinks the employees exaggerate the problems. Being scolded by a transferee because their agent didn't sell their house quick enough or for enough money. I have to be a bank collector and a travel agent - neither of which is in my job description. Job description is misleading and does NOT accurately depict the duties and responsibilities placed on us. Must have a thick skin - there is a saying you aren't a PPC until you cry which is so true. High turnover (5 people in one week - tell you something??). Inconsistency between offices. Colleagues that are not team players are not reprimanded, the rest of the team just has to pick up their slack. Constantly covering for colleagues who are out of the office on accounts you have NEVER been trained on.
