OK place to work

Pros

Challenging work assignments. Respectful of opinions. Moving toward a more "corporate" feel instead of the prior "family place to work" feel.

Cons

Big company, easy to get lost/not get attention from upper management. Little authority to effect change due to need to play politics in order to get things done.

Pros

All levels of the company take pride in development, offering many opportunities to grow personally and professionally.

Cons

Like a previous reviewer, I find my current job limiting my growth potential. I will likely leave this company within 12 months because of a lack of growth opportunities. What I am receiving is far below what I give.

Pros

-Decent pay - they hire anyone that applies and can talk and type at same time (because of large turnover) - most co workers will help you and will listen to you and explain things about why things are the way they are

Cons

- No raises - It is not sales it is a call center - they do not leave you alone and expect you to be taking call after call after call and be on phone 90% of your shift ( if you sell like i did its hard to do because you have to note and follow up on all sales) - 1 manager and he is over worked and is a yes sir guy - ran by people above the manager that has never worked in a sales center enviorment and just bases changes on stats that they think will work - Agents have no say in anything - one day you have your job and next you slip up once on anything you are gone - breaks and lunches and even bathroom breaks are scheduled and you have to stick to your schedule - Everyone makes the same amount of base money... from just starting to senior agent... only way to make money is commison and if you dont get that pay is not that good - You get vacation time but VERY hard to use... the vacation calender fills up 3 or 4 months in advance and they alow for 2 people out of 150 people off each day so 14 hours available daily for almost 150 agents. So if you need a weekend off GOOD LUCK - If vacation calender is full and you need it off even 3 months in advance and cant get it off because the day is full you get occurences and 4 of those a year you get fired. - sales agents are blacklisted so you cant move up to a different position in nationwide if you are in sales unless you know someone
