Pros

Nice friendly people. You will network with hundreds of other employees during your career here. There is definitely a chance for advancement within this company if you show up to work, and do your job.

Cons

HR has become a joke. There are constant investigations over seemingly small things. Senior management is ridiculous, and what is expected of the employees changes on a daily basis. Once you do get promoted - watch yourself. Supervisors get fired from this place like crazy, and even on a whim.

Pros

The benefits package was okay.

Cons

There is drama everywhere. From management being too friendly with employees to employees fighting with each other. Senior management waits until the day before to announce new policy changes.

Pros

coworkers for the most part - in the same boat; many good people that really need a job

Cons

you're scheduled at certain time and are expected to be ready to take calls at that time - unfortunately there are multiple systems that need to be booted up and logged into separately prior to being ready to take a call - you're expected to come in before your scheduled time; I've read other instances of flexible hours but not at this location; training was a joke - totally unprepared for taking our first calls - I think maybe 5 out of original 31 in my training class are still doing this bs - misinformation is also common among some of the redhats along with a lot of 'I'm better than you because I'm a redhat' attitude; many supervisors don't care - they'll laugh, joke and even scream loudly while the minions are trying to understand the little old lady on the other end of the line w/a phone problem. Some, though few, of the supervisors seem to really have a handle on things and actually will help other supervisor's folks when in need; only one trainer I've had seems to be worth his salt. 'A fun place to work' sounds great but the only people this seems to apply to are those not on the front lines - screaming laughter, nerf gun fights, throwing footballs around folks trying to take calls is ridiculous, especially when your help flag is being ignored...
