Pros

Free fruit and bagels Coworkers - bonding at unofficial happy hours about how crappy the company is Experience - you'll get to gain experience and work on different tasks, which helps you get a better job elsewhere.

Cons

Pay - very low for the industry. Especially when you have been there more than a year. They offer a monthly bonus....which they tax. Turnover - worst I've ever seen. In 2 years the entire team I started with was gone. At least 3 people quitting per month. Absolutely no attempt to keep quality employees. Instead, they're replaced with clueless employees fresh out of college. Quality work and common sense drastically decreased. Advancement - Being promoted from Specialist to Expert used to be a legitimate promotion. You had a team of specialists you were responsible for. Now it's a free for all. At your one year, expect to be "promoted" along with 6 other people. It's not really a promotion. It's them finally paying you what they should have been paying you when you started taking on tons of other tasks. You'll be doing the same work as an expert that you did as a specialist. Additionally, they have a rule that you have to be in your current role for 1 year before you can apply for another role. Completely unfair for people who had been there 2-5 years and were qualified to be an Account Manager or Trainer. Instead, they'd be promoted to expert, then have to wait another year to be able to even apply for AM. Those roles ended up being filled by external applicants. Benefits - very expensive, especially if you have kids. It's ridiculous that an EAP company that partners with STD vendors doesn't provide STD to it's employees, or even better health benefits. So if you have kids, don't add them. And if you plan on getting pregnant, make sure you add on STD...which you'll have to pay out of your own pocket.

Location was pretty good. Coworkers share in your misery.

Misery and Laughably Low Pay

Pros

Free bagels twice a month. Location (as much as any other down town Chicago office building, I suppose).

Cons

Ridiculously low pay. Entry level position for department I was in is $31k, the next position up the ladder was confirmed to add $60 more a paycheck after taxes by those who had been promoted. And in most cases, you have to put a minimum of 2 years in just to get to that position. Even those in higher positions were clearly jaded about working for the company, as they would openly complain about not being able to further progress due to politics. Very high turnover rate, which primarily has to do with the previous paragraph, and not just with the entry level positions. This means I went though 3 different managers in less than a year, which meant A) continuously adjusting to different expectations, according to who the manager was at the time, and B) perpetually having a manager who has not been a manager for very long and is still attempting to figure out how to be one (no consistency). Quantity-obsessed work environment. Numbers were clearly the priority in this job. Workers who would do quality work (meaning accommodating customers) would continuously be called out for low numbers, and would be offered little to no advice on how to "improve", and would not be shown appreciation for the quality aspect of their work. Overall, this job will work well if you either pay dirt cheap rent, or are living with your parents for free. Stick around to get something on your resume, then find a job that pays decently, and where the company cares about its workers.
