Pros

Some of the people you work with are great. The benefits and the pay are wonderful for an entry level position.

Cons

Extremely high turn over probably caused by micro management, lack of care for their employees especially the ones that are actually good, a lack of understanding that you can't control the calls or customers you get that might affect your performance metrics. You get paid time off which is great when you are actually able to use it which is rare. Your schedule you get is dependant on your metrics which can more than likely be out of your control.

Pros

Free internet, TV and phone, starter job, was a short drive from home

Cons

More Than 1/2 the reviews on glass door are fake, nobody has ever been that happy to work here unless you were previously jobless. I can name 50 people right now who worked there and can tell you how bad it sucked and that's just from the Greenville office. Even the employees there hate it. Money was great at 1 point, then pay scale changed, had to work harder to make less money, moved dept 800miles away, forced change to sales, pay scale changed again, making it harder to make less. Joe morone was hired to run Greenville and it went to hell. His exact words to us when he met the first time "I can tell you make too much here just by looking at the cars in the parking lot." So the pay scale changed 2 more times and the call center went from 400+ to less than 200 people when left. In less than 6 months with people leaving voluntarily or getting fired. If you're a supervisor and don't write an agent up, you get written up.
