So much potential

Pros

Great mission, some wonderful people, and a tremendous amount of opportunity. Very flexible with work/life balance. Great benefits, and fantastically quirky customers.

Cons

Can be very difficult to get things done. Goals are all over the place -- far too many priorities, and too much politics among senior management.

Pros

Not being in the call center is a definte plus. Many of the employees outside of the call center make as much money in just a bonus as the poor people in the call center.

Cons

Working in the call center. The Managers are placed based on how well they kiss a Directors butt not by knowledge. They are then unable to perform as a Manager, both accomplishing their own job and helping consultants perform theirs. The Consultants are not trained very well and the support fuction that use to be inplace to help Consultants (a dept. of Senior Consultants) were all let go to "save money". Like I said the call center is paid the least among employees...save a bunch of 40-80k pay checks but pay bonuses of 40k+ to other employees....and at the sametime remove all your senior consultants who don't know anything. The Management from top to bottom is just terrible in the Call Center.

Pros

Much depends on the part of the company you work in. Some areas are high-performing and do a great job of developing people.

Cons

Diverse range of abilities of managers from middle management to senior management that leads to varying employment satisfaction by area.
