Pros

Company paid benefits WFH with little to no supervision

Cons

Honestly... too long to list. Overall, they're pushing AI so heavy that layoffs have begun. They never follow through on changes they say are coming unless they negatively impact staff. The base pay is egregiously low for the positions and the provided training is incredibly lackluster. Save yourself the headache.

Not what it used to be

Pros

ok pay, great colleagues, collaborative

Cons

Shift bids every fiscal year, management SUCKS, no structure, extremely AI driven. Pay could be better. Constantly losing employees so we’re always short staffed. Phones are the biggest need yet they don’t hire more people often and if they do, those new hires realize how awful it can be and quit. Prepare for your schedule to be changed a billion times throughout the day and throughout the week… UGH.
