Pros

This used to be a really good company to work for. It is hard for tenured employees to watch what it is turning into. Decent pay, 401k, paid time off (although good luck using it), tuition reimbursement

Cons

Imagine if you had every minute of your day watched. This is what it's like to work here. It used to be all about providing remarkable service to our customers and the employees genuinely wanted to do so because they cared. EOM and WFM have made the environment so stressful. Turnover is high and tenured employees are expected to pick up the slack because of under staffing. OT is common but hardly anyone picks it up because they are already burnt out. Many people are actively looking elsewhere. They are going to a new absence policy where every "occurrence" has a point value. Too many points and your gone. There isn't any flexibility and seem to be more concerned with bodies answering the phones than what kind of service they are actually providing.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
