Pros

The only positive aspects that I can relate to employment at the Johnstown office: close to home and it was a paycheck.

Cons

So much micro-management at this office, it's unreal. They try to make you believe that you are working an actual HR job, when in fact, you are in a call center with a job title that is not "CSR". Call audits, peer audits... so many "quality audits" on employees that it makes you feel like you're back in high school. Employees and "management" auditing your work and telephone calls who have never done the work or answered an actual telephone call in their career. This all ties with your annual bonus which will be non-existent after they run you through the ringer. Slightly above minimum wage pay.. in a town that is dying off. This is the only reason you have people sticking around.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
