Pros

Great location you can watch the Pirates play and the Steelers maybe even see some fireworks

Cons

First off micromanage is is an understatement... Some “sales coaches” are referred to as commanders, others are laid back and great managers that’s as far as I would go, I would not call them “sales coaches” most of not all of them just fell into the position, not much management training! It really is a bunch of frat boys running around playing corn hole. The people that work hard hit quote in a week get put on probation because of the commander. The hard workers are put under a microscope and if they even breath the wrong way the commander will take note of it (even down to the very minute). ALSO if you are germaphobic DO NOT WORK HERE! They have a mandatory 3:30pm pound/handshake. One more thing there is a very high turnover rate due to the micromanagement

Pros

Most money I've ever made in this type of role. Manageable workload for the most part, unless you grab too many complex tickets or have things start to go sideways. Great benefits. Fun team atmosphere and culture. Have seen many people on my team get promoted into higher roles so far, so I feel like I can take my path in my own hands and push it as far as I want.

Cons

Disorganized and constantly evolving processes that live and die by "FYI's", many that you only suss out when you come across a new situation. They've tried to codify a lot of processes and have done a good job, but many are still "you need to find out in order to know". No robust task system that is oriented by roles and expectations/capabilities rather than individual's names, which is... ponderous. Need a role to do something? Go look in a directory for the person doing that at the moment (subject to change, may not be updated/old info, person could be on vacation, etc) then send it to them, rather than dropping a task in a bucket that someone assigned to that role sees. The difference sounds small but it's immense in practice. Some of the fees and charges a customer can accrue are difficult to explain because they're nakedly bill stuffing.
