Pros

Promotions, see Cons. compensation, see cons, time off policies, see cons. One thng that I did see as Pro was the upper mangement (non Customer Service but Corporate) giving out rewards for attendance & compliments. Also, the medical benefits were really good.

Cons

You could not get promoted to a position you were really qualified for if you were in the call center. The reason would be a lack of experience in the company knowledge (although you would be told you are one of the best employees). Also, you would not get promoted unless you were part of the inner circle of "Yes-men/women". Once the hiring manager spoke to your current manager you were not selected. Also, tenured associates in the call center would rarely leave because that took bodies off the phone. "You are too valuable as a CS Rep to lose" was a common phrase after an interview. Compensation, pay rate, never equaled the amount of work you do, the stressful environment you are in, the level of training in different applications you earned. Time off policies were a joke. you could give ample time in advance for time off & it would get approved. As closer as time got to the leave you requested, you would be "bullied" that your request was never approved or they made a mistake. Office culture is that of another joke. The supervisors, managers & directors would micro-manage at every moment if you went to the copier, had to take a bathroom break, etc. Only those that would kiss up to managers did not get the attention as others. If family called the podium to give an urgnt message you were given that message right away but was kindly "asked" to wait until your break time to call back. Or if you took that call right then, the supervisors would hover nearby to ensure that it was an emergency. Training was crammed down the throats with no chance of sticking to the plan. Training would never be as long as needed to be proficient enough to take calls. You spent more time asking more questions and being told to read the manual.

Pros

The culture at Comdata is unique and it drives me to do my best every day. Our people are the organization and through collaboration with others we are able to be successful at meeting or exceeding our customer’s expectations on a regular basis. There is a commitment amongst most who work here that encourages us to us try new things that will improve our overall performance at both a personal and professional level.

Cons

The company has so many product offerings that it is challenging to be informed about all of them. I would like to see a continued focus that provides opportunities for all us to learn more about the company and it's products.

Pros

The gym is nice. The trainers are helpful and will really work with you to help you reach and then maintain your fitness goals. There is a cafeteria where you can have food made the way you want it. There's also a salad bar, and good selection of drinks and sides. It's a little pricey though. You receive all of your vacation time and sick leave up front, allowing you to decide when and how much to take. Overtime for the taking. Great way to make some extra money during the holidays!

Cons

Let me start by saying this: I am convinced that the world known as Comdata downstairs, is not the same world known as Comdata on the 2nd and 3rd floor. On the call center floor, the metrics change every month. The standards change so much, they are hard to meet because you lose track of what you need to be doing. In customer service, the QA standards you must meet as a call agent make complete sense. In the permit division, you will find them hard to meet. Management is kind of lost on everything. This is not their fault as they only take the orders from senior management, but it's passed on to you as an agent and makes it stressful with your day-to-day requirements. Also, favoritism runs high on the call center floor and you will experience it sooner or later. The training department for permits is not very helpful. They don't know the system, the state laws, or anything about the actual trucking world. Your experience in the training room will not be the experience on the call floor.
