Pros

Better than being homeless. Good experience if you can survive there.

Cons

I worked in Building 22 in the Best Buy/Fluor call center. You will work there as a "contractor" for Kelly Services or CCI. You will never be hired direct. You will never get a raise. There is no paid time off of any kind, no health insurance, no dental, no benefits for a full time job. The training I received was a joke, little to do with what the actual job was, when I made a mistake I was fired via a phone call at home, no warnings, no conversation, just "your services are no longer needed, surrender your badge". You have been warned.
