Hard work pays off.

Business Outlook

Pros

Many internal opportunities. Monthly feedback. Supportive management. Great benefits. If you work hard and hold yourself to a high standard, it will be noticed. Call center does contests and sometimes provides lunch. Strong culture. Lots of paid time off.

Cons

While the initial salary is fair and benefits are good, the structure for raises/bonuses is very strict. Company is merging/going through a lot of growth/change right now, so scheduling and dealing with all of that can be irritating

Pros

seems like there is opportunity for the right person if you like the kind of company culture

Cons

evidently being a customer service agent on the phone is bad because from the first day they inundate you with how you can move to another group after you are a phone representative

Pros

If you are a home office employee it's not that bad, in the middle of a huge culture change, if it works there is a huge opp to make money

Cons

One of the worst places to work in the field you are just a number and don't have much say
