Pros

The company had good medical and dental benefits. What I enjoyed most was being able to work from home. Most of my teammates were very helpful. Lots of resources were available to assist with customer requests.

Cons

Lots of disgruntled customers due to services not being performed when scheduled, not to mention due to system changes their accounts weren't accurate or sometimes duplicated in the system. The pay was not commiserated with the level of aggravation dealt with daily.

Pros

Can WFH in most corporate positions.

Cons

Management is so removed from reality, that the entire infrastructure and employee responsibility becomes a mismanaged, convoluted mess. Terrible benefits and nonexistant PTO, relative tothea publicly traded & insanely profitable organization that they are. Most corporate workers have 95% downtime, but don't disclose that. Most are also severely underqualified to do elementary admin/analysis.
