Pros

The only pros I had while working here were the friends I made and the office environment. The free cookouts on Fridays definitely were an incentive as well.

Cons

Where to begin with the cons... First off they don't tell you it's a call center and that your essentially just trying to get the applicant to talk to a school so they can be forced to sign up. It's a giant scam and gigats is a phishing website. I mean, if you're not that bright and enjoy reading a script all day then this is the perfect job for you. My advice is don't settle for working here and look for a real job because you won't learn any real skills here that will help you advance in any other companies.

Pros

Changes in early December but definitely can see the company's vision. Communication with all managers has gotten 100x better and everyone is really involved and working hard. I actually look forward to coming here and working which is more than most of my friends can say (some of whom work for really, really big companies). My pros would have to be: - Nice people to work with - Great work environment - Free food (and too much of it) - Parking is really close - The pay is really good and lots of PTO days Overall I'd say anyone who posted a really negative review here likely doesn't work here and probably shouldn't have to begin with. The culture is super unique with a work hard, play hard kind of mindset which maybe isn't for evrybody.

Cons

Some smokers don't go all the way to the smoking area (and I can't stand the smell when going to my car).

Pros

Pay isn't too bad, friday cookouts, events thrown throughout the month for employees

Cons

Sugarcoating what the position actually entails, not stating it's a call center on the job posting, revolving door company, 2 weeks of "training" to learn another role other than what you are actually doing and during the 2 weeks working 50-64 hours a week and getting paid less than minimum wage and no overtime pay for those excessive hours, unorganized, forced to do overtime hours every week (over 40), no one is on the same page, your "helping" people to provide them with college info but really your pressuring them to speak to the school so we could get paid even if the candidate was not the least bit interested in college since they did call for a supposed "job prescreen" to an application. Just basically too shady. If you have a conscious just save yourself the effort.
