Pros

They have very competitive pay for call center depending on your experience its 15.00-16.00 starting then can go up from there The Benefits (medical dental vision) life insurance fraud protection (alot of others too many to name they even have very great benefits for both mothers and fathers who are employed with the company for planning a family you get your regular 8 weeks for maternity leave then baby bonding time within the first year you get extra 8 weeks of time off with your new baby so total of 16 weeks which is awasome they also have great adoption assistance and tuition reimbursement Sunday and tuesdays they have FREE donuts and Fruit The lavista NE location is very well kept nice gym, cafeteria, volley ball court and basketball court with a pond in the back to walk around during breaks/lunches The desk are bigger than normal call centers i've seen!

Cons

Just as any other call center you are sitting 95% of the time and it can get tiering sometimes you get conflicting information on what is right and what is wrong. They seem to say there is room for career growth however with out a degree i have not seen that possible and ive been there two years. The calls can be very dificult (depending what department you are in) however Debit card Department you get the callers who are upset about their cards not working or issues with their account and they can be highly unproffessional rude. Metic based per performance- some of the metrics just as any other call center AHT there are some metrics we as employees are subject to but its not within our control ex AHT is in your control call control but when we get bad survey they make it impossible for it to be appealed even if it was the correct response we gave the customer if their upset we have to take the hit on the survey which affects our TIP payout (bonus) at the end of the quarter When i started i knew it was a call center however i did not know what position i was going to be placed you dont get to choose what you want you go through :my path" then they decide and give you a schedule you cant change it unless there is a "shift bid" available and it does not happen often. we can not shift trade like other call centers allow you too. its very limited

Pros

The benefits are highly competitive.

Cons

Management is very cliquey and most times lack the analytical skills necessary to make logical business decisions. There is still very much a 'good 'ol boys/girls club' presence, which makes it difficult for those who actually possess marketable skills to move forward in the company.

Pros

- Good work/life balance for teams that do not affect PayPal's bottom line. - CEO is a great guy with a solid vision for the company. - Good perks. Free soda, lots of events, technology training courses. - If you can keep up with the high work demands, there is good upward mobility up to a certain point.

Cons

- If you work on one of the critical back-end teams, you can kiss your weekends goodbye. It's very common to see people in the office until 7, sometimes as late as 10 for a deployment hand-off to an India team. - Mediocre culture (perks != culture). Although overall there is diversity, individual teams hire people like themselves (diversity != inclusiveness) - Non-flexible work for engineers. They always assign more work than is feasible to complete. They expect people to work at a constant output all of the time. - Managers may ask you to do extra on top of your work, which can be rewarding for your career, but is mostly to help the managers look better in their fight to look good. - Because everyone is overworked, team members are too busy to train new hires.
