Pros

-people are great, nice and respectful - the culture is awesome

Cons

-No room to grow within the department or internally. I have seen people grind in this position including myself but others who don’t work as hard as others get promoted for some reason or others who don’t work as hard get the option to move internally. Most of time, the reason for promotion is if it’s as if if you are more liked or not. -thus, in this position, hard work is frowned upon and they will like you to do the bare minimum (ie: get criticized for working with vip hosts, PDEs) -Please figure out quality vs quantity aspect of this work. Sometimes, you can’t have it both ways. What do you want the most from associates? Once you figure that out, then people can follow. -Hard work is not noticed by the managers or this department
