Pros

Good benefits, 401k and work/life balance.

Cons

I was forced out, ignored and discarded. No offer was ever extended or even mentioned to me to relocate to NC. I wasn't part of the in-crowd. You're either in or you're not and there's no hope for you if you're not. I kept my head down and did my job to stay employed. When NC was announced, management rubbed their hands together to choose who would come along. No amount of experience or knowledge could save you from the chopping block. Some sold their souls to join up. Currently, associates who weren't chosen for the move are being wooed to come back and relocate to NC. What does that tell you?

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
