Pros

I was able to take a lunch when I wanted, but I rarely took a lunch because I was so overworked. I received thank you notes from the salesmen for my hard work. At least I had recognition from a few people there.

Cons

This place was a nightmare. I am normally an easy-going individual, but while I was an employee there, I was so extremely overworked that I developed issues with sleeping, eating, and a tremendous amount of stress. I had to take medication for anxiety that I never had to take before just so that I could get through the day and I had to go through dental visits concerning my jaw locking up from clenching so much while at work during the day. They had me doing the work of two people there because they fired one person as soon as I was hired on. This never changed even though I was promised it would change and there would be more people hired on. I was constantly berated by other employees because I did not process the way they wanted me to process. We had pointless meetings all of the time that would take us away from the work that was increasingly piling up. Vacation was a joke. Pay was a joke. You couldn't get help when you needed it and if you asked for it, your coworkers would rat you out to your boss for asking them for a little assistance. I was paid a straight salary, but instead of working 40 hours, I was working at least 50 just to stay afloat. No camaraderie. Meetings upon meetings just to displace blame.

Pros

I met absolutely some of the best people I’ve ever met here. The folks out in the shop are great people and I really enjoyed getting to know them. Being paid weekly was nice.

Cons

There are no performance reviews and no raises, meaning you don’t know how you’re doing and even if you’re doing well, you don’t get rewarded. There was little to no coaching given if there was an issue. You were expected to simply change and get better with no real direction given. There is a 401K, but the company doesn’t match. You don’t receive PTO until you’ve been with the company for a year, and even then it’s only 5 days, so be prepared to work constantly with no breaks. PTO tops out at 15 days and that’s only after many years with the company. There is blatant favoritism by upper management. There are double standards in place that allow for certain people to do as they please while other departments are micro managed and nit picked at. It’s easy to tell who is salary and who is hourly, that’s for sure. You have to watch your back because people will twist your words and actions and tattle on you simply because they don’t like you. You can’t trust anyone. It’s very much like middle school. Turn over, forced or otherwise, is a problem that doesn’t seem to bother anyone. I was promised a no blame, team environment but I never once felt like that was the case. I should’ve seen the writing on the wall when someone was fired just weeks after I started and wasn’t replaced for 6 months, meaning the team was overworked and stressed, and upper management just thought we weren’t working hard enough or fast enough. Policies and procedures seemed to change on the daily in order to fit whatever situation someone was trying to get out of. Everything is always someone else’s job, meaning you end up doing most everything on your own and hoping for the best. There are daily meetings that accomplish nothing except wasting time.

Pros

There are zero pros to this company. One man in senior management is great.

Cons

Screaming at employees, procedures change constantly, favoritism, when management is out most of the office simply quits working except the two CSR's
