Pros

Great people, fun environment, good training.

Cons

Parent company is a problem. They make everything more difficult. It can take 6 weeks to get approval for your $.25 per hour raise. There is no time in between calls. Advancement opportunities are rare and the increases in pay are no where near compatable with the increase in work. You can't trust HR at this company.

Pros

I have been working with this company for almost 2 years. I have been promoted several times and have done just about every phone call position in the company. This job is so flexible! You can literally work your schedule anyway you want if you're smart. You can technically miss up to 8.5 days without being fired. You get several bonuses for attendance. They give you 2.5k as a reimbursement to go back to school. They give you a gym membership. I am now working from home with the same company and I am happier than I have ever been. I have talked to celebrities and made life long friends. My coaches have been by my side from the beginning. I have learned leadership qualities I would have never learned anywhere else. I also use the same techniques I use over the phone to do sales and make extra money! They literally keep track of your skills so when you apply somewhere else, your reputable. I did what I was supposed to do and had everything handed to me and have a blast doing my job. It can be repetitious if you allow it to be. When you have fun doing something you literally meet some of the coolest people over the phone. You have the opportunity to meet multiple people a day. You can get Voluntary time off almost any day during slow season. I literally had off almost all December and got paid for it with my PTO.

Cons

If you treat this like a job, your going to get regular job results. It can be repetitious but from my experience which can ware and tear. If you don't like sales then this can be tough If you aren't making friends then you will probably hate it. If you don't know how to work the scheduling system then you won't get the schedule you want so learn it.

Pros

Employees worked well with each other. Always helpful and team oriented. Some managers use to care about their employees and balanced the business needs well. Use to be lots of opportunity for improvements, allowing several chances to be noticed for quality work. Still some of that going on today but at a fraction of the past. Upper management use to keep everyone in the loop at appropriate levels. Managers, no longer in the company, covered my back and I theirs when it mattered most.

Cons

I'm not angry, just dissapointed & passionate about my time here. 1. Execs & Upper Management are completely disconnected from the trenches and share little to no directional knowledge with employees. 2. My Executive had a rinse repeat attitude in fixing our departments growth needs by limiting or cutting off any meaningful internal promotions. This executive instead hires an upper manager to bring in his staff, pay them all 30%-50% more, and then leave it to us to train them. This same process repeated more than once, resulting in the existing staff feeling outright depressed about their dead end jobs. We often joked, if you wanted to get compensation closer to the new hires or to be appreciated more, just quit and come back later for more money. 3. In the last couple of years, most of the "Go To" people have left the company. With no succession planning of their replacements, back fills are often left to fend for themselves and muddle through, best they can. 4. Get it done now, rush decisions, handed down with little or no warning and no clear explanation why. 5. Upper Managers running teams without any knowledge of the tools being used or systems their teams support, resulting in a "That sounds good. Lets do that" decision making. 6. Project Management was not driving effectively or given the inclusion to projects they should have run. 7. Promoting the most disgruntled employees just to quiet them down, resulting in stepford wife employees. Keep taking your pills and be happy! :) 8. Good managers left in waves due to no empowerment, broken promises on bonuses & slashed budgets. All when we are meeting number goals. My last quarterly bonus was so low, it helped me decide to leave. 9. Facilities were not maintained well. Broken restrooms, sinks staying clogged and employees brought their own coffee, as the company coffee was not good and then upgraded to folgers for a time. Exec's had company issued Kurig machines and all the K-Cups they wanted. 10. Consistently told i was a top performer and consistently paid under market by high double digits. Exec told me we are trying hard to get your pay in range and then i would watch yahoo finance as the guy cashes out $300k in stock options, in a single day. 11. In less than a year, my department changed hands so many times my temp manager asked who i worked for? I politely responded, "I'm working for you, but i'm not %100 sure on that sir." - btw, he left it up to me to find out and fill him in once i knew. 12. In the few months before resigning my position, I was physically ill every day. Constantly not knowing the future and so many changes being made, with no inclusion in the process, made this job very difficult to continue.
