Pros

I got breaks sometimes, so that is good I guess.

Cons

Job is based on metrics, so no matter what happens if the numbers are low you will get fired. Additionally performance reviews are based on a randomly chosen call, so if they pick one bad call of out of 10 good ones you will be put on notice. Jobs were interviewed as customer assistance but when you get to training you are told the job is a sales position and if you do not make your quota you will get fired. Any type of raise, compensations, or advancement is based on your metrics. Typically if you sold 100 items in a month that were $5 but another guy sold 1 item for $1,000 he would have a higher metric and be deemed a better employee. Breaks are given (only out of requirement by the Better Business Bureau). Breaks times are strictly enforced and assigned to you. I was given two 15s and 30 minute lunch. Hours were from 8-5 and my first break was a 8:30, lunch at 10, second break, 12:30. If you were not back at your desk the second it hits that time you would have a manager hunting you down, even if you are in the bathroom. Additionally, they are open all holidays, and while you can be off for Christmas you are strongly encouraged to come in. Team managers are rude and inconsiderate to employees. Literally was reprimanded because I was throwing up and went home, with approval by another team leader. Had a meeting about how, I need to be at my station and push through it even if I am throwing up everywhere. Needless to say I worked there for a few months. I would rather work at McDonald's then be at this place again.

Pros

Standards and expectations are mediocre (except for in pleasing the bosses). This makes life easy if you treat it just as time spent for a paycheck. If you are good at corporate politics with minimal ethics, you can thrive here and make a decent living. Not much competition in quality of work or innovation (those are not the criteria in going up the ladder anyways)

Cons

Unpredictable lay off hurricanes many times a year (has been happening more often in the last 2 years) whenever the executive management fails to further impress the Wallstreet. Current IT leadership is letting the business down. They are mostly a combination of a few bureaucratic politicians survived in the company for a number of years AND a new flock of cost cutters (read lay offers) recently got hired who approaches everything with a shotgun because they do not have a clue on how to analyze the challenges and efficiently solve and innovate. No pay hikes or bonuses to the employees doing the heavy lifting - norm is to let them leave and hire new employees for higher pay. Promotions are mostly based on the 'likability to mid and senior level management' criteria - hard for a diverse cultural background to fit the bill (given the demographics of the current senior and mid level management).

Pros

Working from home and saving on gas money

Cons

The pay. No raises. Not acknowleged for good customer service, they only look at numbers. In a few short months our list of things we handle has grown longer but there is no training for the new things we have to do. We are told to google or go to ehow to find out how to help a caller with complex tech issues. It is represented to customers that there is expert help when they call and there is not.
