Pros

Strong 401k, great healthcare package. A lot of paid time off (but you'll need it) Gained valuable work experience. In my particular case I had flexible time off - But that depends on what field you're in.

Cons

Leadership no longer listens to front line employees. They make major changes, they fail almost every time, and then thank YOU for "making it a success". They preach that everybody can provide critical feedback without fear of retaliation or consequences, but reality is they want you to be a Yes man. If you're not you will be outside of the circle. Politics are heavier than ever. Highly talented, qualified, and deserving employees are passed up for on promotions because of the boss's buddy. (And I am not talking about me, so make no mistake this is not a bitter former employee review. This is truth) Over the many years true leadership has become practically non-existent. Most Customer Service reps burn all of their paid time off at start of year because of job stress.

Pros

Money. They throw money at you in salary (which is not deserved for the job we do). Plenty of overtime to make even more money. i cleared an extra $10000 last year in OT alone. Other incentives to earn cash and prizes.

Cons

Everything else. Work/life balance is non existent. If you like weekends, nights or any free time to spend with friends, family or loved ones, DO NOT WORK HERE. They force overtime and you have no choice. They change your schedule around every month. You can't make any plans because things change on a daily basis. If you are young, don't have a social life and want to make stacks and stacks of cash while sacrificing every ounce of free time that you have, then you should work here.They rob you of your time, talents and SOUL. They use the color red in their logo because this place is HELL.
