Pros

The training is unmatched, as is the support! A very casual yet very professional call center in downtown, Evanston! For sales, this is as good as it gets; from the onboarding by their charming and helpful Controller/Office admin, this is a wonderful place to come to work everyday; you'll WANT to come to work! The owners are just "one if the guys", there is constant coaching, great benefits! It just kicks!

Cons

It's too easy to "get away" with some unprofessional yet harmless behavior for an office! It may, at times, be too relaxed and not in a bad way! I'm old school; hit your #s, but keep making calls like you haven't!
