Pros

Amazing coworkers, decent pay and benefits. Occasional free food and snacks

Cons

Typical call center environment. Very busy and lots of angry customers. I got cussed out by customers too many times to count. You are just a number here unless you kiss up to fit in with the cool crowd. Career opportunity and growth were promised but never delivered.

Business Outlook

Pros

Positive team dynamics, challenging environment, great benefits. People get along and you will actually make friends in the company. Great brand recognition. Nice campus. Overall a great place to work.

Cons

Limited room to grow. Company is under a lot of pressure because competition is growing fast. There were lay offs is 2015. My manager was not as polished as I would have hopped for but that is not the case in most other teams (I worked in legal).
