Pros

The pay was good and that was all.

Cons

They couldn't understand when a representative became very ill and needed time off. Managers would stand in middle of floor and put down reps and one girl complained she thought she should get a bonus for the first month there and verbally became abusive on the floor and the company gave her the $1500.00 bonus..And gave it to her every month whether she met her amounts she needed to collect or not. People was stealing accounts from each other when you are not there.. No one cared as long as you collected how you got the money. They have laid off a lot of people since then so hopefully things got better. The smokers had to go outside and would talk about other employees, management all behind their backs then come back in and tried to be buddy buddy with you. The back stabbing was HUGE..Not worth the effort. No room for advancement at all.

They treat you like a Machine.

Pros

Good benefits. Good pay. Leadership WAS good in that it was personable but now they are very strict, by the book and talk to you much like they are machines.

Cons

Requires you to adhere to exact schedule which they call "adherence". Only goes by the book without regard to human factors. They expect you to remain on the phone up to the very minute but the human body doesn't always go by a time clock. They expect you to get off the phone with the customer at the very minute you are suppose to take a break, but do not allow you to put your phone in personal a minute or 2 b4 that time so that you can abide by it. Takes advantage of the elderly because of due dates and charges excessive late fees. The benefits are good but after a while it wears on you to have to make people happy who are essentially being screwed because of bank manipulation tactics. They offer a bonus to those who do meet the metric requirements, however, they approach it as though you were some kind of machine and if you don't meet it because of going over on a phone call or because you and to go to the bathroom between breaks you lose. If you had to stay on the phone with a customer past your break time you pay for it by losing your bonus that month even though you are doing your job.

Pros

Exceptional pay and benefits for entry level call center positions. Best work culture I've ever been a part of- genuinely feel valued and recognized by the company. Company is expanding rapidly and internal opportunities reflect this. I've had one in-line title promotion, stretch promotion "internship", and been promoted to a new position all within a year of my hire date. Lots of "extra-curricular" opportunities for involvement to those who seek it. Company genuinely cares about its associates and communities.

Cons

Fair share of growing pains. Computer infrastructure not advancing as quickly as company itself. Financial institution, so strategy changes are frequent and without warning. Lots of growth and promotion can result in new training new. While pay is competitive, the matrix to determine wage can result in two associates in the same role making different salaries based on the position they promoted in from.
