Pros

There are tons of potlucks so you get fed. They also have many different departments so it's slightly easy to cross train if you don't like what you're doing.

Cons

Most management has no prior management experience and are very young...and you can definitely tell. Also there is no real compensation. They give promotions without giving raises. They also give "promotions"... make people salary but don't actually pay you more...a lot of people lost money because they lost their fringe benefits also they lost their ability to get overtime. Also there was an understanding you would have to work less some weeks to compensate but management makes you use your vacation time if you're 15 minutes late.

Pros

Co-workers share your pain and understand what it's like to work in a call center. You can develop some good friendships with your co-workers. Some of the supervisors are very understanding. The company sometimes tries to show appreciation to the company customer care workers. The company does give food to employees fairly frequently. The best times are when there are meetings and employees are able to log off the phones for meetings.

Cons

For anyone in the customer care group, the cons are simply being in that group. As an employee, you're subjected to the worst of humanity and have to deal with people who abuse you over the phone regarding student loan payments. It's demoralizing. The debt management group was trained to call customers and request payment on student loans; the numbers we had to meet were high and hard to come by when the majority of calls resulted in being cursed at, hung up on, or told the customer simply couldn't pay and "Obama would pay off the loan." In addition, upper management rarely has any idea what the numbers they impose look like in a day-to-day setting, they have little sympathy for the employees, and have no idea what reality is like in the customer care department. Supervisors regularly go on power trips and refuse to acknowledge questions from representatives that are trying frantically to get off a call with an irate customer. In short, the customer care representatives are on the lowest rung of a ladder they cannot climb with no way to pull themselves up and no support from upper management while they're getting abuse from customers. This is, in short, the worst job I have ever experienced.
