Pros

The people I worked with were all great. Even though being a CSR is tough work, it was good to know that your manager knew where you were coming from and was helpful, not to mention the added benefit of regular department outings.

Cons

Management seemed to exploit the fact that the entry level marketing and CSR staff were straight from college, and so they were given a flat compensation rate (explanation was that we were all given shares but it's just an excuse) under what is necessary to live in Boston comfortably. I knew many who had second jobs. Owners and upper management didn't seem to realize that having local CSRs are ultimately better than outsourcing, and even though we had a meeting where the message was "Your jobs are not in danger" a month later many including me were laid off. They only seemed to learn after this that maybe that decision wasn't the greatest one.
