Pros

Casual dress Free soda and snacks

Cons

Far and away the worst job I ever had. They expect you to work long long hours and will balk if you ask for even a day off when you've earned the vacation time. No recognition or appreciation for a job well done. If something goes wrong, you'll be thrown under the bus.

Pros

Great benefits Free snacks, drinks, pool table, Wii and PS2 to play Hour long lunches Very loose dress and appearance code Long training period before working on the floor Nice equipment to work with (i.e. powerful computers, dual widescreen/flatscreen monitor setup)

Cons

Clickish environment VERY few females (If you are a female, you will QUICKLY get disrespected on the phone as the majority of the call center are males. Customers automatically assume you dont know what you are doing or are a secretary as soon as you answer the phone.) If you have a question, please already be techie, because your answer will come in the form of the most technical words the person can use. Your expected to get the caller information, analyze, and solve cases in 5 mins. Does not help if the person you are talking too barely knows anything about technology, but it is still put on you for being on the phone too long. Only a couple sick days Expected to be to work regardless or conditions outside. (I lived about an hour from the job and we had a blizzard where roads were being closed down. I was told I was still expected to work and had to go because I was still in my probationary period. I still have a scratch on my car from sliding at 8MPH and hitting a rail.) Management is selective in who they are cool with and who they push Some people dont do their share in their workload, as you take on cases and chats on an honor system. (I even mentioned this to management and nothing was done about it while I was there.)

Pros

The people seemed friendly on the outside, and might actually be if you fall into a cliche. -Smokers -Techies -Smoker techies The work environment seemed clean and full of intelligent co-workers. The pay was ok.

Cons

It was as if everyone was putting on a facade. When requesting time off for personal issues they are very reluctant and tend to pressure you to tell them why you need time off. Otherwise they are fairly non-confrontational, and if you are being let go they will lock your account before you come into work. In my opinion this seems a waste since they will not tell you why you are being let go, and if you are commuting you just wasted your time.
