Pros

I made a late in life career change and started in a Level 1 call center role. At first, I thought the recruiter's pitch about growth was just a talking point. I simply needed a new direction. But the training was incredible. I had four amazing coaches during my call center days. Since moving into TA, I’ve had the same supportive coach/manager. Each one has truly helped me grow. Meeting regularly with someone who genuinely wants you to succeed is a rare gift. I've seen others grow at their own pace—progress is always encouraged. It’s empowering to work hard and have a team that supports your growth. All you need is the willingness to learn and a solid work ethic. The tools and training? They’re part of the package. Years later, I still look forward to showing up and doing what I love.

Cons

Tech and HR are always changing, you must be able to embrace change
