Pros

There really was nothing great about this place. I suppose there's a pretty big parking lot and the commuter rail is only ~5min walk from the building.

Cons

My job here was to review certain reports that were going out to provider companies, ensuring there were no errors. However, we had to be sent these reports in order to review them, and as I was fast and good at my job, I would routinely be waiting around for hours for management to send me more reports. Management simply moved slowly, so even when I pestered them to send more, I would often have to sit around doing nothing. One day, I decided I would take advantage of this downtime and do some freelance work while waiting for the reports to come in. One of the managers walked in and saw me on my laptop and told me to put it away, so I did so immediately and without question. When I came back from lunch, I was pulled into a meeting with the managers and was told I was being let go. Apparently, bringing your own laptop/tablet/etc/computer technology into the building is prohibited due to security reasons, and is cause for dismissal. This information was "in the employee handbook," a handbook which I didn't even know existed, and had never been provided. So, to review, even though I had pestered my managers for work, had downtime, was one of the best employees on my team, had never had a negative run-in with management, and immediately acquiesced to the request to put the computer away, an un-promulgated rule violation led to me being fired on the spot. The work was terrible and I was treated like a straight up monkey. Now I work in a field I love with clients and colleagues who respect me. Being fired from this job was one of the best things that ever happened to me. There also happened to be two cocaine overdoses by employees on the premises while I was there (about a month).

Pros

No pros what so ever.

Cons

This company and specifically the collections department have very little opportunity for growth, despite what may be promised during the hiring process. Honestly, it’s a circus. Non stop tasks are thrown at employees each day. And Goals are constantly increased so analyst can’t reach them. Employees who work hard and consistently perform well often find themselves stuck in the same position with no clear path for advancement. Promotions and opportunities never appear to be based on performance or merit. Management is one of the biggest issues. They have no clue. Favoritism is prevalent, and certain employees seem to receive special treatment, better opportunities, and more support than others. This creates a frustrating and discouraging work environment where many employees feel undervalued and overlooked. Morale suffers when performance and dedication are overlooked in favor of personal relationships and when there is little accountability for management and no transparency regarding career development. Communication from leadership is lacking, and employee concerns are not addressed. Management gets defensive when employees ask questions or disagree with their stupid decisions. Overall, it can be a VERY challenging place to build a longterm career if you are looking for fair treatment, professional growth, and strong leadership. Turnover rate is very high. Also, micro management is at an all time high. Would not even recommend this place to a college grad for entry level experience, if i could Put 0 stars, i would. For the sake of your mental health, stay far away.
