Pros

Employee discount Occasionally get to meet celebrities that go on air. Matches 100% of the first 3% in 401K and then half of the next 3% that you contribute.

Cons

Poor work/life balance. Employees frequently staying up late to submit midnight reports to upper management. No accountability for cross functional teams. Merchandising team blamed for other departments. Constant "fire drills". Management constantly asking for HOT reports to be done in 1 hour and giving no explanation into why it is needed. Lots of red tape in the approval processes making it difficult to execute tasks with agility. Does not value employees and has frequent layoffs, yet still advertises their charitable donations and what an "altruistic" company they are.

Pros

Work from home, is about the only pro for the job

Cons

No work life balance at all, you will NEVER get requested days off approved even if you put it in 10 days in advance, strict attendance policy, their metrics are insane, with mandatory upsells now being 3% and have to do an upsell now WITH EVERY CALL not just sale calls even if the customer is upset, went from 2%-3% upsell goal, I personally started with 38 people in my training there's maybe 3 of us left, you don't even get to breathe between calls, and told not to use the bathroom during high calls times is crazy.
