Pros

-Work from home -Insurance is awesome and starts your first day! -Great pay and benefits

Cons

- It is impossible to get a normal 9-5 weekends off shift. You will be working weekends, holidays (including Christmas), and a TON of overtime. - They pressure you hard to work overtime. They make it clear you won't get a promotion or a good review if you don't work overtime. -You have no support when you are having rough calls. You just have to sit on the phone and let the customer verbally abuse you. -They do not train enough in higher positions. When you ask for help they promise you they will get help but it never happens. -When you get really sick you are forced to take a medical leave and they won't work with your schedule. -They will not adjust your schedule for kids, school or anything unless you jump through hoops to get a doctors note for medical reasons. -They get really aggressive when your scores are perfect even if it is just a bad month. - Bathroom breaks are saved for during your 15 min break or lunch break. Hold it otherwise. -If you find that you can not handle a promotional roll they will not let you move back to an older position. They tell you to stick with it or quit.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
