Pros

The BEST thing about working for this company is the ability to work from home. Who knew? Doesn't change the job itself, but sure does make it easier to deal with the day to day madness that is customer service.

Cons

Not enough time off. They have a point system in place that is way skewed and not in the employees favor either. Training for certain positions is ridiculously long - having endured the 32 plus weeks, I get why training for a $15 an hour job necessitates almost ONE entire year to train for.

Pros

Work from home, good insurance, great 401k

Cons

The pay and bonus structure doens't match up with the work people are being asked to do. There are no merit based raises, so the people who do the bare minimum and skate by get the same bonuses and the same raises and bonuses as the people who work their butts off practically kill themselves to take up the slack. No tuition reimbursement.
