Pros

It has a laid back atmosphere and the people that I work with are great.

Cons

Not enough recognition. You could work hard, show up on time, never call out, and do everything like you're supposed to do, and you still won't get promoted over someone who has been there longer (even if they are late and sit on the internet for most of the day).

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”.
