Pros

-Training is thorough, depending on who the trainer is -Beautiful Workplace -Decent Recognition for hard work -The performance-based incentive program is decent

Cons

-Many in "leadership" positions are not qualified to be "leaders". They are data crunchers. - Internal communications are horrible - They overhire, and then find reasons to let the excess employees go - HR takes actions that do not align with what their SOPs say -Many in leadership roles are unsupportive and even rude at times -Very difficult to advance in your career unless you are friends with someone in a position to recommend you for a promotion -As an employee, you are VERY micromanaged

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
