Pros

- Pretty good medical benefits - Company matches 401 K at 4%, 10% retirement plan contribution made quarterly by the company - Good paid time off accrual - Good tuition reimbursement program ($10K a year) - Low expectations of employees, good place to get your feet wet in the industry.

Cons

- Low employee morale, especially with higher levels and/or more tenured employees who have seen more. - Reviews are very subjective and bonuses are decided by how much your managers likes you compared to your peers. - While there are "in crowds" everywhere, they are here too. - Very inexperienced managment team once you leave PA and the highest ranks, most management members are under 50 with the majority under 40. This might cause some of the issues. - Once you escape the phone jobs, you are considered exempt for the most part and aren't paid OT for hours worked above 37.50

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
