Pros

Opportunity (for those that work hard to achieve it). Personable leadership team. Productive/Innovative company looking at the "next great thing". Coworkers who want and like to help. Leadership tries to bring a fresh perspective to a fairly repetitive industry (as call centers can be). Maybe I'm wired different but, we (meaning me) are all in charge of our own careers. The great employees (and Hilliard has tons), take an active role in hitting thier metrics, networking in the office, volunteering for addtl projects, and overall conduct themselves in a positive manner.

Cons

Life and the professional work environment (by definition) is competitive, with high demands and high expectations. Sometimes it feels as though we are falling short however, this is because we always strive to be better today then we were yesterday. I think leadership has done a much better job of balancing culture vs. metrics however, can always get better.

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.
