Pros

Some nice/smart coworkers, cool branding

Cons

Almost every job is a customer service job with no room for advancement. You can work hard, excel in your role, and get absolutely no recognition. Agents can treat staff pretty poorly - not all, but the ones that do can really make you dread going into the office every day. As others have said, you definitely need a thick skin to stick it out

Pros

The environment is great and standards are good.

Cons

At times you feel as though you're in college, where many seem to be friendly and the environment somewhat inviting. Dispite this feel, when it comes to closing a deal no one really wants to sit down and help you directly, it's more of a figure it out and or come to the training class to get your answers. Which the training is during normal work hours (so part-timers can't make it) and most of the time the training (though highly informative) doesn't address your immediate questions.
