Pros

Benefits are great. Retirement package changed drastically just before I was hired. Now it's nothing.

Cons

Morale is bad as upper management is out of touch with phone reps. I believe if they did the job even3 hours a month, they would have a fresh perspective. No wonder the turnover is 50% in good times. Now, only 33%? The VP message was good. Being a global company, what motivates US employees is not the same as someone elsewhere. We are different here in the US when it's all said and done. Information from higher ups is lacking. What you get is from rumor. You only find out what is new once you have violated policy/ procedure. Really lacking information circulation from where it needs to come from. I get my info from a rep who has ties to a former location. This rep is still in the loop there and that location requires mgrs. to be on the phones 3 hrs. a week. Now that is a true reality check.

Pros

It is a large, international company which has lots of perks such as 8 weeks holiday plus 8 bank holidays. They will help you to get qualified. The staff! The customer service levels at the local branches are high.

Cons

No communication from management, the staff constantly feel that they are under constant presuure to sell to customers that so not want to be sold to. The Salarys are not competitive. The call centres are all in India and you get passed to one peson the the next.
