Pros

The benefits are great, convenient location to commute too. Nice to get discounts on certain things and at certain places. Also a nice points system where you can redeem points for gift cards, that is very nice. Small bistro inside cafeteria, where you can get a hot meal. Which is great if you happen to forget your lunch at home. Wireless headsets and dual screen monitors which help a lot to do the job.

Cons

It's a call center, so you have to deal with the downsides of a call center (low pay, always on the phone, short breaks, call metrics, constant call monitoring, etc.). Pay is not that great, it could be better, but given this is a call center and a high military area it works out for them (Canon) because there will always be warm bodies to fill the seats. Extremely hard to be promoted, especially within your first year there. Short breaks, you pretty much have to scarf your food down. Not much time off the phone. Metrics can be daunting; example you can help a customer with their issue, the customer can be completely satisfied and say they will be a Canon customer for life, but if you didn't collect their information or close the call right, its a "bad call" and you will get dinged for it. Mandatory overtime. Upper management seems out of touch with what's actually happening on the front lines. Some of the policies in place or the decisions that are pass down from upper management just doesn't make sense.

Pros

Remote work is offered M-F. Good benefits. Good job if you enjoy repetitive work. Good work culture. Helpful and friendly coworkers. They make sure to help get new employees prepared for taking the first phone call which can be daunting. It's the only call center job I've worked but people with lots of calls center experience told me that it's more pleasant compared to other call centers.

Cons

They tend to be understaffed. Better make sure you're consistently getting a good handle time because they will get on your back if you don't. They used to do a thorough job of providing in person training but ever since the pandemic the training is exclusively online which doesn't provide all the context necessary for learning how to manually operate certain products. The same goes for employee appreciation which went downhill post pandemic.
