Pros

Family atmosphere, casual dress, many amenities offered, clinic on site, safe parking, security all over, great values and culture, lots of training

Cons

State guidlelines have to be used with every call, throughout the call with no room for error to be made. More role playing should have been used in training. I have seen where managers do have their favorites

Pros

Generally friendly co-workers, pretty ok benefits. Good parking. Security fence with gated access makes the place feel very secure.

Cons

You better be an expert salary negotiator when you are discussing salary, because you aren't going to get a raise after you start. It is busy. All the time. Calls are back to back, with 5 seconds between calls. Your aux time (time not on a call) is very closely watched. You are required to do sales pitches on most calls, even though it's a customer service position and are punished if not enough of your customers buy in. There are strict guidelines that you must follow for every call. And you can not deviate from them. This requires you to be constantly looking at them, without committing them to memory. When you are on a call, the audit software not only records the calls, but also does screen capture. If you aren't looking at those guidelines on you get nicked for it. It doesn't matter that some of the information hasn't changed in years. Good luck getting a day off. While you do get vacation time, it is almost impossible to be able to find a day to get off. You must schedule it at least 3 months in advance generally to get the day off. You don't get 2 days off in a row, unless you work the 4x10 schedule (4 days a week, 10 hour days). No career growth. There hasn't been a new coach in over 7 years, and a new manager in about 5. Managers do lateral moves, so your actual manager may change, but not due to hiring or promoting, just switching them around. There is virtually no promoting. Unless someone dies or quits you are in that entry level position permanently. There haven't been any promotions at my site in the 2 years I've worked here.
