Pros

They do offer great benefits. Reasonable accommodations for the workers. People themselves are nice, friendly and supportive.

Cons

Unreasonable metrics create an atmosphere of fear and stress. Coworkers will try and pawn work of on you so they can move onto sales. Mistakes by other associates aren't fixed as they aren't a sale. Incredibly high turnover as they don't care as much about customer service as they do about lining their own pockets. Good luck getting any time off. Too much of the job is luck of the draw on the calls you get. There is some salesmanship involved, but too many of the associates are not interested in the customer, just keeping their job. That creates more work when the customer calls back as the order wasn't done correctly, or not explained fully before the associate hurries to the next sale.

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
