Pros

If you have the ability to work a hybrid schedule from home to Scottsdale then this is a decent setup. The base pay should be $100k and company benefits are great.

Cons

Heavy micromanagement of the position with all calls and emails being monitored. Goals are not easily obtained and require working more than required, some luck or both. Economy is restricting ability to grow clients as well as internal risk factors with underwriting.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
