Pros

There really are no pros. Maybe the benefits are OK. They do the best they can with that. More cons than pros, that's for sure.

Cons

Where to start... Most middle managers hired from outside the company usually fail with in 6 months to a year. That assumes that they're not besties with a VP or owner. I personally was looked over for promotion because one of the owners' family members also applied for the job. I've been in meetings where supervisors and managers have said that they just want people with a heartbeat to fill the seats. I had a supervisor (the one who is related to an owner) tell me that I should treat subordinates like dogs. I know there was a case where HR tried to get employees that were dating to file a sexual harassment complaint (even though they didn't report to each other.) I know a VP loaned an agent money using company funds. I know of at least 3 cases of wrongful termination that the company settled in court. If you like drama and want to be treated poorly, this is the place for you. I wish I could have those 5 - almost 6 years back.

Pros

Close to home, decent medical/dental/vision, holiday time, and PTO. Potential to move up (if it wasn't a requirement to have to be in the call center for 9 months, before being able to advance).

Cons

Since Computershare has purchased the company, SLS is getting more corporate by the day. Computershare is sucking every last dollar out of the place, and has gotten MUCH more strict in their policies. The recent hiring and placement of a few VP's is making me wonder who is in charge. I'm not sure who is doing the hiring for upper-level management, however I think they need to find someone else with less of an iron grip. The supervisors and VP's look down their noses at you when you past them in the hall ways, instead of treating you as a human and simply say hello. Upper management should work on THEIR people skills for those who are on the front lines of this company. The call center management should listen to the needs of the people taking the calls, instead of someone who states they "know" call center management and how to impliment it. The call center supervisors on up NEVER seem to be happy with the hard work people are doing, in this demanding environment. Phone reps are treated as if they are easily replaced and like a piece of meat whose lives don't matter. Dealing with people on the verge of having their homes foreclosed on, is a difficult position to be in when talking to people who are about to lose everything. I don't feel a single manager or supervisior could do this job for a month, and not realize that major changes need to be made in how call are handled. I consider my call center a "job" and not a "career" until I am recognized for my hard work, and taken out of the inbound/outbound call center. I would also bring back the ROTH 401K option, the old vacation pay that tenured employees received before Computershare bought them out, and tell your recruiters & hiring managers to look at peoples resumes who have years of expirience. I am in a phone center position with many years of financial services, and a call center position is below my skill set. I took the job because I needed it, however I feel I could bring much more to the company they I currently am. At this point I am bored, not utilizing my talents, and will continue to look for other opportunites elsewhere with a company that pays better and appreciates my past expirience, hard work & talent.
