Pros

Excellent healthcare benefits and generous tuition reimbursement. Overtime available.

Cons

Very poor morale and culture at the call center. Too many changes and processes that are simply not effective. New IVR for customers is horrible. No bonuses and raises are minimal.

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
