Pros

Great culture, most managers/supervisors are pleasant to work with, good opportunity for advancement, great benefits, awesome employee engagement opportunities.

Cons

At the time, the team was treated differently depending on their relationship to leadership. You were micro-managed (again, depending on relationship to leadership, some were able to work from home, come and leave as they pleased, and others were expected to come in early and stay late). If you did your job well, you were expected to do others jobs in return. No work/life balance. You were expected to have your work phone on you at all times, and answer any and all calls/emails as they came in, no matter what time of day/night. Recruiter turnover spiked once the new director took over, should've been a red flag, but wasn't.

Pros

Working from home is a nice perk

Cons

Everything if i could give a 0 i would, the company cuts commission in half due to their billions of dollars debt and they make it the employees problem, treat the employees like trash, you get yelled at by your supervisor like they own you, you get treated like a slave, when you do good you're the best thing that's ever happened to them but when you're struggling which btw is their own fault, you are the worst thing that has ever happened, the company purposefully sends calls to departments they don't belong so they mess with your numbers, employees from departments overseas make the customer's life so impossible that good employees get treated like garbage by customers too, you can't win like EVERRR, you get hawked even by the higher ups like CEO level people on your calls when you're just a regular employee, they keep letting people go left and right, if you do bad you're gone but if you also do too good you're also gone, nobody is safe and you're told that constantly on a daily basis.
