management team is not engaged in the training of new employees. does not motivate to improve..it seems to me like the managers who work for Equity only promote or hire their friends.

Pros

It's a great place to reevaluate your career path. You learn a lot about customer service with some really tough real-life scenarios.

Cons

1. bad pay - with a college degree you can earn a fabulous 27K salary :-) 2. horrible clients - if you enjoy being verbally abused, physically threatened and psychologically drained every day at work without having any actual recourse or corporate protection - work here. 3. patronizing employers - insipid smiles and fake personalities galore 4. bad hours - sure, you work 5 days a week -- but you'll only get one weekend off and have to come in extra early or work through lunch to make your quoted 40 hours 5. numbers over people - you get the fun pleasure of telling people that they're only real value is as a lease 6. dirty politics - yay! they'll mislead you're commission sales, make you do extra paperwork, and cut your allocated reimbursements
