Pros

- Benefits are very good with Blue Cross. - Pay is decent after enough time worked and based on union wage. - Extremely fast paced customer service industry that allows you to meet lots of cool people. - Employee Stock Ownership Program creates a very nice retirement if you can survive that long.

Cons

- Management has increasing and extremely unrealistic expectations for their employees. - Dealing with humanity in such a capacity will occasionally fill you with seeping hatred. - New corporate supervisors are frigid and inhuman; they care only for the bottom line. - Don't expect ANY positive reinforcement or feedback and you won't be disappointed. - Neck bending work speeds and back breaking labor because of stingy labor allotment. - Corporate management is now exclusively hired from outside the company. - Having seniority no longer gains you anything but a worthless "Years of Service" pin. - "Point" based disciplinary system is just a rigid turnover engine.

Pros

Great coworkers and managers. The products are great and I loved that I was able to offer great customer service. Moving up and around in the company is easy, positions are always opening up because the company continues to expand. They also have an employee share program

Cons

The hours can be sketchy, depending on the department you're in. Some weeks can be higher than others. The workload is also heavy and the expectations are high but manageable.
