Pros

Fantastic Paid Time Off Great Healthcare

Cons

Poor Management Didn’t feel apart of a team. Quality is 97% and with how their quality review is setup if you don’t get 100% every time you will fail. There is no exit interview with HR. You are seen as cattle to them. Training is mediocre. Confusing and they expect you to know information about the systems but not train you or provide the resources for the answers.
