Pros

Pretty good training program Opportunities to move up or transfer into Good benefits/discounts

Cons

SEVERELY understaffed, not just for a couple months but for the ten months I worked in 2014 we were always doing 5x our normal payload due to insufficient staffing. Many co-workers got strain injuries / carpal tunnel from the over-exertion Our training time, breaks were almost always cancelled and our lunches were constantly asked to be cut in half Schedules can be very bad since chat is 24 hours a day. Expect to have an overnight graveyard shift and to work all holidays. Overnight shifts are worsened by dealing with primarily international customers whom we can't do too much for due to being in another country unless it's something we can troubleshoot but this is limited.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
