Pros

Co-workers were really nice. Management will walk the floors offering snacks & treats: healthy and not healthy. There were a few fun activities organized that showed employee appreciation.

Cons

Training needs improvement. It is based more on the system; not policies & procedures. When asking for help, management will refer you to your co-workers first before coming to them. Systems are very out dated. Employees are given 65-70 base clients fresh out of training (and that's starting low according to them).

Pros

If you're in the right group it can be very rewarding, with competitive pay and wonderful co-workers.

Cons

There are groups that have an incredible amount of pressure on them, and they seem stuck in a culture of deflecting and delaying over serving the teams they interact with.
