Pros

The benefits offered were great, the Prenatal and Pregnancy benefits were great and had a limit on out of pocket maximum that were better than the just normal health care benefits. Not sure if its still around but was great when we were having kids

Cons

The pay was not great, I was located in a remote office was was getting paid less compared to counterparts that worked in Des Moines that would get paid more because of living cost was greater. Also didn't like the environment that the checkers on our work would essentially be the ones in control of us getting a raise or not. We were also limited on how many people in the department that were able to get raises due to budget limitations and it was very cutthroat.

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.
