Pros

Pay is satisfactory, benefits include 401K and pension.

Cons

Micromanaging employees, constantly mandating overtime, poor work-life balance, metrics based focus on numbers rather than allowing employee to build authentic connection with customers to provide meaningful service. Apathetic attitude towards traumatized customers, and how dealing with them affects employee’s overall mental health. Overtime is typically mandatory and it’s very difficult to get time off which leads to poor morale. Schedules are assigned and you have a low chance of getting something different if yours isn’t satisfactory for you. You might have the chance to request a different schedule about once every quarter, sometimes less often than that. You can request an exception to your assigned schedule but it is a long process to get it approved and it isn’t guaranteed.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
