Pros

They are always hiring Its nice to receive a regular paycheck

Cons

Bringing you on board seems great at first, and the woman training you is superb and does a great job seeming to have your back. Once on the floor, however, you realize that you had no choice in your hours (despite assurances to the contrary during the interview process), have precisely tracked break time and lunch time (with severe three strike policies in place for even a minute or two over), practically forced overtime (managers will tell your the "real" winners stay late), severe aversion to people having second jobs (with better employee relations to make a basis for comparision) and intense favoritism and segmentation. Its my belief that the company has a complex algorithm in place to give callers from overall positive socioeconomic area codes to established employess (but they claim its entirely random.) The whole thing felt very dishonest.

Pros

Nice chairs. Good prizes... For all the top people who already have the huge pay checks! You get free lunch, when they are over whelmed with the call volume and only allow a 30min break during your 10 hour shift.

Cons

Basically if you arent in the top you are going to get sent home. And then put on a performance plan and get fired in 2 weeks. And I asked for 1 and 1 day only off, and didnt care what my hours were... Instead I worked a 10 hour shift on the 1 day I requested off in my first phone interview.

Pros

It's nice to be in an environment where marketing decisions are based on actual program performance data rather than someone's instinct or endless rounds of focus groups. The amount of data we can access about our marketing programs is mind-blowing. Every team has dedicated web developers who can build any kind of web analytics tool that you can imagine as long as you show its value. Co-workers are generally very smart and helpful. The growth is happening fast so there are decent oppys to advance your career if you do a good job. Next year we're getting a new building with a bball court and gym and running track.

Cons

The pace of change is unbelievable. The turnaround times are really short and it can be high pressure. It's something that takes getting used to if you come from a slower-moving or larger company. The learning curve was steep for me and the first few months were seriously intense but if you can adapt its a really good place to work.
