Nice folk, bad management

Customer service representative

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Coworkers Sorta positive environment

Cons

Bad management No recognition at all Obligated to sell protection plans - strange enough folk who actually do their job, never call off and who likes working at this place seem to get fired before the ones who never do anything, leaving their stations to go talk to friends or to avoid customers entirely. Strange strange place.
