Pros

This is a company that cares about the welfare of it's employees. All companies say that, but this one actually asks how you're doing, what they can do better (for YOU, not just the customer) and they are actively involved in helping employees succeed and grow and move up (or happily stay put if they want). The culture here is what I'm impressed by. I'm comfortable here, always feel heard, always supported. Also, working from home is a huge plus for me. Love that.

Cons

Well...this is a call center job. Customer service isn't always fun. There will be calls back-to-back at times, you'll get yelled at every now and then, the call metrics can be a pain, but this is a call center job. That's just the nature of the beast.

Pros

It was close to home. That was the only positive.

Cons

This is one of the worst places to work. The training was abysmal and incomplete, and the only motivational tool they have is to fire people. In my few months there, I watched employee after employee get fired for doing things that they were trained to do. Their equipment is constantly malfunctioning, they're short staffed, and the only employees they appreciate and promote are the unethical ones. They prey on people, grab customer's phones to check their emails for customer response surveys and solicit positive responses or input answers themselves, lie about annual income for credit card applications, and talk people into corners to make sales. I have never seen a more rude and predatory sales team in my life. Our water was brown, we had no cleaning supplies which meant our closet of a break room was FILTHY, there were literally dried boogers on the walls, I have photo proof. I have photos of our security completely asleep while on the job. I quit on my own after a few months because I was so appalled at what I witnessed.
