Pros

Low expenses; great place to invest even when I leave the company. If you're buddy/buddy with the right people, you'll be promoted quickly.

Cons

No chance for growth. No one stays their more than 10 years--even the lifers run out of opportunity. Even those who aren't looking for opportunity leave b/c they get tired of doing the same thing.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
