Pros
Leaving was probably the best thing.
Cons
I wasn't on the phones, and I'm not sure how anyone can do that their whole life. Your co-workers suck which makes one wonder if it's because that's the way they are, or if Alta has sucked the fun out of them. It's probably a combination of both. I have never seen a worse company culture ever than I have at Alta. Nobody ever worked as a team where I was, and God help you if you have a question. You'll reach a point where you'll go home with a headache every day, maybe kick your dog, and when you're at work you'll wish you were any one of the seagulls flying around the building - maybe even the one that occasionally hits the building. You may even contemplate going to the roof and just telling yourself that all you need to do is "take one more step," if you work here, and honestly I'm surprised nobody hasn't. I found myself scheduling time in offices to do phone interviews around the week two mark of employment - only to find that what I thought was a career move at Alta, almost hindered my employ-ability because of the stigma that Alta has in the business world - it's terrible, Alta is a joke to people. Honestly the fact that I was able to leave this place alive is an honest-to-God miracle. I hated working here, hated the co-workers (who are typically either really old, got pregnant at 18 or younger, or are settling as a call-center worker because they don't like working very hard), and hated my life during this time spent here. Do yourself a favor and install a block on their URL to never EVER consider this place as an employer. Some say that their insurance is good, but they don't realize it's only "good" because it's cheap - the actual insurance is awful. The best day of my life was putting a note on my boss' desk saying I'm resigning effective immediately.
