      Very Poor Place to Work

      Retirement specialist - client services
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Job Security (they don't pay you anything so letting people go isn't a priority) - Industry Knowledge (you will learn the ins and outs of the retirement business) - Generous Vacation (you will be able to take plenty of time off)

      Cons

      - Very Stressful/Sweatshop Environment - Limited/Politically-Motivated Advancement Opportunities - Extremely Low Pay - Big Brother Atmosphere - Scheduling Inflexibility Overall, you should only consider working in the call center at Great-West if you are desperate and cannot possibly do anything else, or if you are a new college graduate that needs a temporary job until something better comes along.
