Pros

- Coworkers are good, for the most part - Good pay

Cons

- Lackluster benefits - Upper management got in the way of efficiency - Wanted unpaid overtime due to "Salary" status despite only receiving a full check if you work a full 40 hour shift, which is immoral wrong and feels illegal. Salary means that regardless of hours work, you get this amount of money, you trade the overtime pay of hourly for a stable amount of money that is unchanging. - "Work hard play hard", I wasn't being paid enough for them to think that everything needed 110% effort, its a toxic mentality that made team environments more competitive and less friendly - Heavily discouraged discussing salaries, despite the fact that that is genuinely illegal. - I was making as much as my coworkers with several years experience in the field when I had hardly been there 6 months, like I deserved the pay but they definitely deserved to be paid more than they were. Raises just aren't good enough. - Complained about the catastrophic blizzard which caused roads to be closed down, because they wanted us in person at the shops and not using photos. They would say that they care about our safety but as soon as that is inconvenient to them they complain about it incessantly

Pros

Work from home, Ok opportunities to learn more but opportunities are becoming slim.

Cons

Between Micromanagement, work overload and with the use of vendors and AI employees are at risk. Corporate seems to not care that were all tired of the customers that are being abusive when corporates made bad decisions and these poor people have thousands withdrawn from an AI error. Pay for this level of company and the increasing headaches is not good, no monthly bonus, no commissions. No pension. Health benefits are available but not affordable. And the undo stress is causing my peers to consider quiting even ones that been here over 10yrs
