Pros

Some of the clients were lovely people.

Cons

The interview process was pretty straightforward but the training is inadequate for all the responsibilities and expectations of the role. It takes 2 years in average to get “comfortable” my FA was very unprofessional, super control freak, would blame me for her mistakes, yell ar me while I was on the phone with clients and made the workplace absolute hell. Biggest mistake and would never go back. I lasted 8 months and it was torture. Depends on your FA of course, can be a better experience but still the amount of information you need to learn is insane for what they pay you.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
