Pros

Pros of working at Chameleon is the co-workers and it is a decent place to get a start in business development. Once you become an employee (they mostly use temp agencies to bring employees on board) you earn PTO and get 10-11 holidays off, including your birthday. Excellent work/life balance because you can just walk away at the end of the day.

Cons

The management is not responsive to employee concerns and is not interested in employee welfare. There is no opportunities for pay increases, and subjective manager bonuses are exactly that, subjective. If your manager and you get along you might get the whole bonus. If you do your job and you and your manager do not get along you can expect little to no subjective bonus. Pay is not negotiable, what you are offered is what you can expect.

Pros

-Dana (CEO) is a great guy and always willing to help out and make things better -Most of the upper management is easy to get along with and are also willing to help out -Pay is decent; the majority of people start out as a temp (like I did) and get hired on permanently roughly 3 1/2 months later; you do get a pay raise upon offered permanent employment, as well as healthcare benefits (even though I opted out of those benefits) -Job is consistent; M-F, 8AM-5PM and no weekends required! (And if you have kids, the management team is VERY willing to help if you need to adjust your schedule for childcare/school arrangements) -PTO/time off is good; you start accruing PTO as soon as your permanent status is offered/accepted -Monthly pancake breakfasts provided, occasional cookouts and an off-site fun year-end holiday party/Secret Santa -Lunch breaks are 1 hour long, leaving you with plenty of time to enjoy your meal, step outside for some air and/or run a quick errand or two -Team-oriented environment and monthly sales goals/rewards -Typical office environment items provided (extra pens/pencils, notebooks, stuff for computers like mouse pads/keyboard/wrist pads, etc) so you don't have to go out of your way to buy things for your cube/desk -The IT dept is a "one-man" show, but he is SUPER helpful as well -Conveniently located in front of/next to an auto-body shop (I had a couple of lights out on my car and was able to schedule a quick walk-in appt that took place while I was working)

Cons

-It IS a sales environment and depending on your "campaign" (which company you're representing as you try to sell), the dials you're required to make range from 45-90 (usually 90+) -Too much of the focus is on QUANTITY rather than QUALITY of calls/conversations/dials -Keurig coffee machine in kitchen costs 50 cents/cup/mug, which isn't terrible, but comes off as slightly petty to "nickel and dime" employees; however, there IS a vast selection of coffees available -Cube/desk environment is NOT for everyone; it can be dark/dingy so I tried to lighten it up by covering the walls with a calendar and important notes to reference during calls to stay on point in conversations with potential clients -EXTREMELY HIGH TURNOVER of employees/temps; it's difficult to make office friendships when someone is around for a day or two of training and then they are gone -Training for new campaigns is done very quickly; people who train are usually very-driven (which is great), but sometimes the training moves on a little too fast and it can be difficult at times to keep up -Little-to-no pay raises (unless you are there long enough to get promoted to management-level; I was an employee for roughly a year and did not receive a pay raise except for my transition to permanent status a year before) -Payment is bi-weekly upon transitioning from temp to permanent status (which for me was neither positive nor negative, but I do realize some people live paycheck-to-paycheck and this can be considered a con)

So far so good

Pros

Training is provided, with other representatives available to listen to and learn from. Coworkers are warm and welcoming, as is management.

Cons

Management expects at least a hundred calls to be made a day, and 25 leads generated a month. Your work status could be changed if you do not reach these goals, which is not easy when you depend on customers taking the time to take your call.
