Commercial Customer Service Representative

What’s the best way to have a lack of compensation and incentive conversation in your department? I went above and beyond for years doing extra work, organizations etc and nothing has been reflected in pay. I thought my 5 year was going to finally show something but it did not. I’ve inquired about pay but it’s gotten nowhere.

    Pros

    You get to be in climate control environment, most days done late nights, I enjoyed the field collections, can sometimes get with a decent non 2 faced working group it's all a 20/80% shot on that though

    Cons

    Upper management very rude not willing to listen to all sides and points of view as well as actual evidence unless it's going in the person they choose's favor, does not care if you need off for family things or gatherings everyone must work those 1st 3rd every Friday and that's no exceptions have not really got no other ambition in general as a whole other than meeting those numbers which is their bonus checks and that's only for upper management(well center manager and up) even though it took everyone of the center employees to get thr center where it is.

    Pros

    If you put effort and voice into advancing at this company, they really do put time into you. Work life balance is decent - lots of holidays!

    Cons

    When I was there I thought the development of potential leaders hit a ceiling. There should be more training in person to spread the culture of Advance America to the employees who run the centers.

    Rewarding but challenging position

    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I really enjoy working for Advance America. Being able to develop others into a better version of themselves, to better service customers and achieve goals outlined by the company is rewarding. The compensation is pretty fair, and there's opportunities for bonuses.

    Cons

    Cons include long work hours, only one off day a week(Sunday), which requires you to enter sick time if you have any appointments or a submit a vacation request to handle personal affairs, and lack of work life balance. Meeting the Company goals and expectation can become stressful at times. All and all the Pros outweigh the Cons, and if I could change one thing it would be the work hours.
