Pros

My coworkers are all really nice and everyone helps each other out, more than I can say for the manager. You get to bring your dog to work and get a free walk every day which is AMAZING. Also, lots of free food. The company is growing so there seems to be lots of opportunity.

Cons

I've never worked in call center before and won't ever again after this experience. I feel like I'm constantly being stretched to the limit all they time and there's no break ever. We're pushed every day to go beyond our capacity, its a call center so of course the phone is always going to ring. They just refuse to hire enough people to have enough coverage. So instead we have no moment to spare, if I'm working on something to finish up a call I'm supposed to "set it aside" and come back to it later, but there is no later. Every day it's the same thing, then I have like 5-10 things to catch up on 3 hours later and can't remember everything I'm supposed to do. I would do a much better job if I wasn't constantly driven like a mule. Forget about getting a day off when you need it and no understanding when someone is sick. There's no support from management. Thy just care about squeezing as much out of us that they can. They pretend to care what we think but don'tt as long as we meet goals.

Pros

Very good benefits, especially PTO / Great coworkers with shared "values" (outside of upper mgmt) / Remote Help pets every day

Cons

The co has become another typical corporate greed - no longer cares about customer or staff experience, only the bottom line. Charges premium prices for not so premium insurance, with progressive cut backs in coverage yet continuous policy increases in much too large of percentage (as an employee, I could never afford my own plan). They used to be fantastic, progressive and all-inclusive. Now they keep hide their true behaviors behind a cloak of "transparency" and have lost sight of their own values.
