Pros

Senior leaders are genuinely interested in personal development and aiding employees to meet their career goals. Salaries are more than fair and the bonus program is generous. As an employee, I am pushed to be innovative in my space and share ideas. As a leader, I am taught to coach my direct reports to do the same. Principal is financially conservative but socially liberal and is doing a great job of developing a culture of inclusion and diversity.

Cons

They tighten up budgets when the economy gets rough, but doesn't loosen reigns when the market stables. Like many companies around the world, employees are asked to do more with less.

Pros

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Cons

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
