Pros

They give you a good amount of paid time off, BUT.....

Cons

They give you a hard time when you want or need to take time off(although you have plenty of it to use). Its a constant revolving door,turnover is constant..I had 9 managers in 6 yrs due to company downsizing or re-aligning, most of them coming in with no sales or phone sales experience.It is who you know,not what you do. Never worked in such a negative/toxic situation, constant up set with poor management and the computer systems were so broke that their IT dept. had no solutions.Due to turnover the phones were so busy you couldn't breath,and big brother was watching everymove,writing you up for everything. Worked there 6 plus yrs until I could no longer stand the stress.

Pros

Great benefits, amazing PTO starting off, company promotes inclusivity and promotion from within.

Cons

The leadership structure seems too complicated. Soooo many team leads. Certain lines of business do not have options for switching teams if you do not get along with your manager.
