Pros

Well-paying for a call center, free fruit, cheap soda, a nice building, free Netflix.

Cons

Your work experience almost depends entirely on your manager, and your manager may or may not change every month. Things that one manager may not care about (and tell you not to worry about) will be brought up against you six months later as a final warning. Sometimes policies are suggestions and other times they are concrete, and this will change at random and get you terminated. This isn't just on the ground floor either, one day everything's fine and the next ten managers are let go and their teams dispersed amongst the remaining set (but everything's still fine guys, don't worry). There is almost zero room for advancement, managers are hired in from the outside and the best anyone hired at entry-level can expect is to become a CSR-2, a position that doesn't actually pay more. Anyone and everyone competent seemed to slowly leave for better jobs in my time there, and at first I wondered why when they had so much going on, but eventually I figured it out. Decent pay if you can stick it out, but way more stressful than it needs to be, and I'm not talking about the customers; an old man yelling at you for thirty minutes because his blu-ray stopped working is nothing compared to not knowing if you're going to be fired that week because you had a sick day three months ago and your calls aren't short enough.

Pros

Performance based -> better performers get to pick their hours. Free Food! Free Netflix Subcription! Decent pay and benefits. Easy communication between teams/HR/Loss Prevention.

Cons

Angry customers whom you cannot help at all... The job is basically sitting there and getting yelled at about New Releases. Quite a ways from the Portland Metro area. Good luck if it snows or traffic gets bad. Those WILL get you write ups the first time and every time.

Pros

Great for silicon valley rockstars who live there jobs.

Cons

No upward mobility unless you want to move across state lines. If you do not accept promotion you start to feel the screws tightening to leave.
