Pros

Overall a decent and ethical company. Good benefits (401K, medical/dental/vision insurance, etc) So far there is no layoff so jobs are stable.

Cons

There are not a lot of opportunities to move up or move around. Stress too much about initiatives/volunteer work outside of day to day job. Work-life balance really depends on who your managers are.

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”.
