Pros

Convenient location & schedule. Free membership to their rebate program. Mostly friendly coworkers. Some OK perks for sales incentives.

Cons

Ridiculously low pay. After 2.5 years still only made $9.hr which is same as starting wage. Not much opportunity for advancement. They train you in other roles, but your pay remains the same. Very few raises. Sometimes deal with difficult customers, but also a lot of underhandedness, attitudes from lazy middle-management who didn't want to deal with employees or customers. Draconian business practices, ie. Use of a point system for attendance to penalize employees even if they are absent or tardy for legitimate reasons, making agents ask for a key to the bathroom or walk all the way to the warehouse to use it, only allowed 4 min of personal time a day away from the phone. Forced to sell somewhat questionable programs to every customer that calls. Selling mailing lists because they even sold my name.

Pros

Working with friendly outgoing talented people makes you want to come to work each day. The hybrid schedule is an added bonus. The employee discount is a wonderful perk with so many catalogs to choose from!

Cons

There are no downsides! Even the onsite cafeteria is great!
