      Terribly Uncomfortable

      Pros

      401k, and health benefits good

      Cons

      Seems Like the "Uppers" want us "Little People" to be as uncomfortable in our jobs as possible. The metrics that are in place make it very difficult to do our jobs and be confident in what we do. One member of the management team tells us "don't be worried", but how can we not be worried when everyone and their brother is being put on "performance plans" (aka write up). I've never worked for a company that only allows 6 minutes and 20 seconds to help our callers. When you are just a few seconds over for the month, you get written up (And I mean as little as 3 seconds over). RIDICULOUS!!!!!

      Pros

      The benefits and pay are excellent.

      Cons

      Cold, sterile, life-sucking, cubical-filled monotony. The work is extremely boring. The software is OLD. I spent more time struggling through red tape than doing actual work. The work-home balance is gradually shifting toward work as more and more after-hours and weekend events are planned. Other employees here are obviously still shell-shocked from previous layoffs and restructuring. They get nervous if you talk about something non-work related for more than thirty seconds. Most work through lunch everyday and stay after-hours.
