Pros

$16.00/hour to pretty much read a script all day and only 20 hours a week, but there's almost always opportunities for additional hours. Customers can be friendly and interesting.

Cons

No flexibility on schedules. You get a schedule before training starts, it changes again during training and there is a small list to choose from. All were early morning shifts and not at all negotiable. Managers tell you to fill out of form if you need a new schedule (for school, kids, etc..) but it almost always gets denied. You sit your entire shift and read the exact same script every single phone call every day. There is no room for freedom as everything you say and do is 100% monitored. For this job you MUST be okay with having everything you say reviewed and listened to. It is a call center. Likewise, everything you do on your computer is also monitored and seen. Not much variety in the work and I would not work here again. I was so bored during my last few weeks that I just couldn't stay any longer. Would not recommend to free thinking, open minded individuals who like creativity or variety in their work life.

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
