Pros

Government benefits and pension. As long as you're able to focus on details, the job is not difficult, and the salary is ok.

Cons

Difficult to advance from the position of CSR. Management style is poor, frontline managers don't seem to have any formal education in management and little understanding of HR policies or the union contract.

Pros

It's lost a lot of the perks that drew me in the first place. The floor level people are very supportive of one another. But that's human nature.

Cons

The management is, in a reciprocation of the trope, an 'old girls club.' The criteria for those that want to get in is to 'not be threatening or easily controlled'. Everyone else is either forced out through the coordinated gatekeeping of the club, or waited out as most of the management is a temporary assignment. For the past two years I've been promised help and guidance, and I receive none. It's hard to be willing to help on special assignments when I'm punished for doing them in the first place.
