Pros

High bonus potential - top 5% of company makes between 60-150K a year for a call center job Free health insurance for employee only Decent 401K matching Some really cool people work here, most of them are leaving or have already left People in corporate live the good life Job is easy as hell.

Cons

Just thinking about the place gives me a ton of anxiety so.... Yep, it's a call center - loud, uncomfortable, unhealthy, impossible to not bring the stress home. Corporate is always hired externally. The days of internal promotions into corporate are over. If you are in sales, you will always be in sales. Only 2 15min breaks and a 30min lunch. Otherwise you are OBLIGATED to be on the phones for 7hours and 24minutes. If you dip beneath this average for long enough you are fired. That's always fun to watch management chitchat/watch movies in their office/take 2 hour lunches all day when you can't even move!! That being said, leadership loves to initiate witchhunts - especially towards more intelligent, higher performing people. The losers up top want to keep their cushy positions! You will get burnt out very fast - I've heard of multiple suicides/sudden deaths over the past 2 years. Someone left the Tempe building on his lunch one day and blew his head off. Other people just drop dead. The customers are "special" and are getting more entitled by the month. Have fun getting screamed at by someone who thinks you are their slave because they bought something for $12. You have to get permission to leave your desk to ask questions. Like in kindergarten. Have fun buying new clothes for the inevitable 10-50lb weight gain. Lots of people come to work high because it's so stressful. HR is completely worthless. Most of the time it's better to read through the policies and do your own research. If you are a woman, forget getting promoted into leadership unless you play the game really well (or are willing to be in an entry level position for 3x as long as the guys).

Pros

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Cons

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
