Pros

The pay is nice. Nice lunches are provided every now and then.

Cons

The management is lazy! They are never at their desks and when you do see them, they never want to take supervisor calls. That frustrates you and the customer. Some waits were 30 minutes to an hour. They like pushing work on each other too. They also lack accountability and gossip too much. Employees opinions do not matter to them. They will lie on people to make themselves look good. They all should be fired and replaced.
