Pros

Descent call center pay, great benefits, off weekends and some holidays, and SOMETIMES schedule flexibility with flex and make up time. Job stability(Literally) you can get stuck with the position and the company with no promotion, but you will be able to keep the job. Who wants that if you want more out of life than a call center position?

Cons

I have been with the company a little over 2 years. The company will sell you the job and opportunities at first with in the company. Truth be told, the company will over work you with stats, numbers, and surveys that are not totally controllable. Yet, this will determine your success within the company and promotions. There are very talented people that may become stuck on the phones because some uncontrollable surveys or even management. Networking and surveys are very important if you do not want to be a statistic and stay on the phone. It is a very stressful environment when you have goals to move up. Management with many supervisors are micro. That alone can cause stress and performance to not be as great as it can be. We are adults and are responsible whether we do our job well or not. It is a high school environment, a lot of dreams are sold to employees without following through from upper management. Too many supervisors gossip and can over step boundaries.

Pros

It's a fantastic place to work - if you're part of the In Crowd. There are plenty of opportunities for advancement - if you're the right demographic. You can be a lifetime employee - if you kiss the right rings. You don't need to be competent - if they like you.

Cons

If you're not part of the favored groups ("diverse" candidates, workers they like, etc.) then you might as well leave. No one will miss you when you're gone. What you know is a much lesser priority than who you know and who has a favorable opinion of you. Being good at your job has nothing to do with whether you will be successful or advance in the company. Remember the cliques in high school? Working there is like that.
