Pros

Great Location (downtown in the loop) Convenient Hours (9-5) Paid days off that most companies don't offer (Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day) Some of the people are very nice Decent health insurance

Cons

The compensation here is terrible and the pay is very low. They set the bonus goal so high, that hardly anyone in the company achieves it. Management encourages you to ask questions, but when you do, they yell at you and tell you to figure it out on your own. They can't even explain to you how the bonus structure works. They spend ridiculous amount of money on lavish, fancy parties to keep their clients happy. Most of the clients are angry because customer service provides them with such poor service. The workers around you are constantly chatting about their personal life and things you should not bring into work, which makes it very difficult for you to concentrate on your work. Brown nosing and kissing up here will get you much further than actually being good at your job. If this is your type of company, you would be a good fit. Otherwise, there are much better companies out there that will appreciate your hard work and effort. This office also has a very high turnover rate, which should tell you all you need to know.
