Pros

Salary was good, People are great.

Cons

Favoritism, High Turnover. Was there many years and loved working there before transferring into a toxic department. People in this department were on a daily basis verbally and mentally abused by an individual. In a couple years period they went through nearly 15 people and are constantly looking because anytime they hire someone, they see quickly how toxic the department is and either transfer or leave. When I reported it, I was retaliated against and ended up quitting.

Pros

Great 401k match, used to get PTO upfront & be able to use it right away! Not anymore since recent lawsuit. You get a yearly bonus IF they make enough money. As long as you make sales they Honor you🙂

Cons

Management has & shows favoritism! Mandatory overtime. Chargeable time even if you have vacation time or sick time to use. THE METRICS ARE DESIGNED FOR YOU TO FAIL! Work from home but if u need a new headset they want a receipt to avoid chargeable time. I asked to speak with a manager about a concern I had with my sup & he stated “ they have to be apart of the meeting” I felt bullied & overlooked! Wasn’t able to express my concers out of fear of losing my job. The turnover rate is extremely high because they don’t list in the job description that you HAVE to meet a sales quota each month but once you’re out of training they will hammer you to sale! Expecting each agent to make 5+ sales a day on each call. Then they count ineligible calls as opportunities which is not accurate! The stress level of this position is worse than a police officer
