Pros

There is a good benefits package; 401k, Health benefits, and vacation days. When comparing to other employers it seems that my package always stacks up well. It's also a job where you can leave the work at work for the most part. There is not a high pressure environment to sell anything.

Cons

Low starting and base salary. It is a company that is very set in its ways and does not always listen to rational reasoning when presented with good ideas.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
