Pros

Once in a while we got to take a break from our phones and go watch presentations, or listen to someone talk. If you get a cool coach (your coach changes often) sometimes they'll let you out early, or won't penalize you for being late. The break room was nice, comfy couches, we were able to use the internet, watch tv or fall asleep. Always meeting new people since so many people work there.

Cons

If you get a not so nice coach, or one that is by nature grumpy and mean, your time there will not be fun. With one of my last coaches it seemed like she was always looking for every little reason to get mad at the employees. The management wasn't really fair. Towards the end when the layoffs started, many good and fair coaches were demoted, while this particular coach kept her position. Definitely unfair, as if being cruel to employees was encouraged. Also spanish language teams were treated with much more lenience than english language teams. Spanish speakers were consistently late logging in, and their coaches would 'fix' their times so it wouldn't count against the employees. English only people had three times and you got a write up if they did that. I sense some reverse discrimination?

Pros

The benefits package was standard for a corporation of this size. Company provided basic product/service which helped with product/service knowledge.

Cons

Terrible downward communication. Culture involved excessive vulgarity and intimidation in front of employees and their subordinates. There was a deficit training employees on software new to them. I had the workload of 5 people until the project was shifted to a team of 5. In a different project, assignment instruction was none existent though I was held accountable.
