      Pay People What They Are Worth. Pay for Performance is hogwash.

      Pros

      Great Snohomish county location. Free parking cafe on site. Nice walking trails during lunch.long working relationship with staff.

      Cons

      They are currently hiring new customer service representatives at more than $3.00 an hour from where I am currently being paid. I have been with this company for almost 16 years. They say they are trying to attract new talent, but what about the talent they already have? I find it unacceptable they won't take the time to review their current talent. I have been rated a 4 by my Team Leads in all my years. Do they not value my talent? Really frustrated with this current inadequacy. Rumor has it, leave and come back then negotiate your wage. So miffed. What would your members find value you? An experienced person feeling taken care of or a newer employee who spends too much time trying to figure it out?

      Disappointing

      Pros

      If you have a good manager, great place to work. In 11 years there I had 10 managers. Some good, a couple great ones, and a few bad ones.

      Cons

      They talk about culture but it's undefined. The culture they actually have created is one of fear of losing your job at a moment's notice. They're laying off people in batches so as not to stir up media attention while they are simultaneously hiring new people, replacing experienced well-paid employees with people with little or no experience and saving tons of money by paying entry-level wages. Another con is the uncertainty of the company's future in the current political environment.
