      A great place to work (as far as call centers go)

      Pros

      As far as call centers go, this probably has some of the nicest people who call in. Ancestry really takes care of their employees. There are great benefits, clean work environment, good pay, and commissions to just name a few things.

      Cons

      The customers calling in are of an older demographic, so troubleshooting is made even more difficult by people not understanding computers. Corporate has a stigma against the call center employees, so don't expect to move over to Corporate if you start there.

      Great place to work

      Pros

      A great place to work for software engineers. A good work and life balance. Engineers have close relationship with the product team and have chances to give them feedback on the user experience. A great office looking over AT&T ballpark and the downtown. A lot of perks, a good life and work balance, family oriented culture

      Cons

      Hiring standards vary from team to team. More standardized approach is needed to keep the high bars
