Cons

As you can see from some of these reviews, people who aren't good at their jobs are the loudest ones. They will be very nice people who you'd like to be friends with but they are constantly complaining why their bad numbers aren't their fault. Its hard to balance being friendly with people like that and being lumped in with their attitudes. As a result, if you are looking for advancement you can only be friends with other people who take responsibility for their numbers. The "dependability" can be a little harsh, but if you are only calling out when its a genuine need you'll be fine. The people saying "you cant have a family" are probably calling in over colds. I started out in this company with no college degree and i have had 2 kids since i started. I have still been promoted 4 times in 4 years.

Pros

Organized in the hiring and training process

Cons

They cared more about output and getting results than the understanding of all the knowledge they cram into us. In addition, we were in training/orientation with mostly supervisor candidates. Meaning, first, there were so many people that did things in vastly different ways which created confusion on expectations and overall objectives of the job. Secondly, it meant that those candidates were finding their footing and being evaluated just as harshly (if not more) than new hires, creating pressure that boiled over to almost every individual on a team.
