Pros

Compensation- you get paid 10% more if you work closing shift, or 35% more on Sundays. You can even get extra bonus money for overtime incentives during holidays! I made 5k more than my base salary just for that. Yearly merit bonus. Coworkers are friendly; it's a very "work family" atmosphere. It's very easy to use your vacation and sick days, you start with 4 weeks time off if you count sick days. Cafeteria and fun events on site!

Cons

The job itself. The pay is not worth it! Lots of micromanaging. You're tethered to a desk by a phone cord, taking back to back stressful calls. This is what you do all day, every day. It burns you out. fast. I am one of 2 other people who stayed more than a year in my training class of 20. Training does not adequately prepare you, and this place can lead to many mental health problems. People tend to drop over from stress-I've seen many taken out on stretchers, and others on short term disability from stress-related health issues.I really want to stay because of the pay and benefits, but unfortunately I am seeing other employment due to deteriorating mental health from this place. Only work here if you need out of retail for a sitting, stable job, or need a high paying job quick!

Pros

Good salary and benefits and room to grow if you have a good manager

Cons

Executives are extremely out of touch with the day to day function of things and how to manage it successfully. The amount of people laid off every year is outrageous so it causes upper management to become competitive and uncooperative with each other to fight over keeping their jobs or appearing needed

Pros

Good salary, benefits, and opportunities. I enjoyed many years with the company, worked on interesting projects, received my education through them and had the flexibility to accommodate my family while having a rewarding career.

Cons

Being located in the greater New York area there are few and fewer coworkers located here resulting working with virtual teams. I miss the face to face comradery.
