Pros

The pay you well, they have a great health care plan, and they will give you full time status and paid training.

Cons

Zero time to be human, the constant computer monitoring puts you on edge since you have only 5 minutes to explain to an 80yr old how to install firefox in order to watch a video on their mac computer. This job tells you to be super human and empathetic, yet their employees want to shoot themselves since the place is run like a prison camp. Trying to go to the bathroom will result in your averages going down on the computer monitoring system and if your average falls below 5 minutes per call per shift you are FIRED, ZERO TOLERANCE!

Pros

Amazing CEO, autonomy, responsibility, ownership at all levels. People are always on top of their game so it's possible to accomplish a lot in a short period of time. Communication from the top is clear and actionable. The best ideas do win out, as long as there are numbers to back them up.

Cons

Extreme arrogance is encouraged. Management skills are not valued. If you can't prove an idea with numbers, the idea may as well not exist. Many employees spend a significant portion of their time wondering if they'll be let go because smart and successful people are often let go in the hope that it will make room for newer, fresher talent. The people who aren't wondering are the employees too arrogant to realize that it could happen to them.
