Pros

Great pay and benefits. Nice work environment. Friendly co-workers and lower management. Very flexible with schedule.

Cons

Constant never ending changes. Since first merger brought in new systems that set us back 10-15yrs. Takes longer and more complicated order entry. Need better raises. Health Care-price going up and covering less Web based training...need more one on one classroom training. Graded on score cards like school kids. New Soft phones--are not working. Can't get thru to other centers half the time to transfer, or if you do you hang up on one or both parties. Not a friendly system. Of course, I guess it goes with the order entry system.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
