Pros

Prestige, JD Powers Award, Understanding of external customer service. CCP's have the best compensation and treatment as the front line.

Cons

The disparity between areas. If you are in the wrong place, it can be like a roach motel, you can get in but you can't get out.

Pros

Very enjoyable group of people. Good direction from management and the business is very interesting. There are many job opportunities here which makes it a good place to have a career.

Cons

Can be somewhat political at times. Can take too long to make decisions, as they have to wind their way up the corporate ladder.
