Pros

Great company, quarterly debit gift cards for perfect attendance, casual dress on call floor, amazing health care plan for cheap, great pay for a call center, excellent benefits, free services and the best they offer, the people you work with are great, they do free food days more than a lot of companies, they genuinely seem like they want to help advance your career or at least get you more training for your job.

Cons

never have weekends, terrible shifts, shifts change every 6 months so don't ever get comfortable because you will hate your next one, people that have been there for significantly less time can choose their shifts before you, even in tech support the customers will treat you like you are worth less than rancid cockroach excrement. Call center employees are the last segment of the population that it is still acceptable to bully. The anonymity of the phone gives people much larger cajones and every single person that calls in immediately thinks you're nothing more than a tech scheduling secretary that can do no more than locate a power cord. People will constantly talk down to you and your anxiety will build to the point of almost getting a nervous breakdown. This is just tech support, we don't deal with money. Also, they don't care what your excuse is (your entire family could have died), if you're more than 59 seconds late then you're late and it's an occurrence. There's basically no upward mobility, you're a cog in the machine, it's a call center. Keep in mind, a lot of this is any call center.

Pros

Good shifts. Most major holidays off. I enjoy working with my supervisor and their director. Free internet.

Cons

Everyone above the director position seems to be Losing the heartbeat of what's going on in the world. We're discouraged from asking about cost of living wage increases. I asked in the past and was told to use a financial consultant benefit (lux) which was an insult although they likely didn't realize this. Employee surveys were switched to bi-annual which is a terrible idea. Total compensation is becoming significantly less competitive. We have some employees who drive Ashton Martins to work and others who are worried about how we stay afloat and debt free in this economy. Midco upper management appears none deaf or apathetic to this concern. The company is investing in AI which is disconcerting as someone who would likely lose their job. Sales tools are so antiquated and no end in sight of a viable sales tool (despite over a decade of asking for one). Career progression is stagnant. The only progression offered is a higher sales goal. Sales is a dead end if you have higher aspirations. Quality of life for front end employees has gone downhill since Ben Dold took over. Pat cared about the front line. Ben hardly acknowledges the work we do to keep the lights on.
