Pros

It's a call center. There aren't many pros to this place aside from having your own desk which they let you decorate.

Cons

Poor management, too strict with attendance and zero consideration for employees, no room for growth. Examples of my experiences, I was in training and they changed our meeting place last minute. I was one minute late and was written up for that during TRAINING! This occurrence followed me for 90 days and was a constant discussion in my reviews. Another issue was with my supervisor. She had great things to tell me every week during my reviews regarding my work and assistance with matters outside of my department. She also emphasized on attendance, yet she was absent at least 3 times a month. We had some severe weather in the Portland, OR location and they told me to show up or I lose my job. How do they expect people to show up when the whole city is basically shut down due to weather issues? I did what I could to show up to work and was one of 15 employees to show up....my supervisor not included who told me it was mandatory to be at work. When I was "terminated" from this job, my supervisor complained about my lack of performance, poor work ethic, and so on. She never mentioned this to me during my reviews and refused to provide my stats to the agency I was hired through. Even her manager refused to work with the agency. Sketchy? Yes. Especially since I had just received (two days prior) recognition in the CSR department for my great call scores, great work ethic, etc.

Pros

Consumer Cellular has an incredibly supportive culture where leadership, fellow trainers, and other departments work together and genuinely want people to succeed. I feel trusted to lead classes, coach new hires, and contribute beyond just delivering training. The role allows me to use my strengths in teaching, coaching, and developing others while making a meaningful impact on employees' growth and confidence. The remote work environment, work-life balance, stability, and opportunities for continuous learning make it an enjoyable place to work. Most importantly, I feel valued, supported, and empowered to do my job effectively, which has made this one of the most positive work experiences of my career.

Cons

The role requires a high level of energy and engagement each day, and advancement opportunities may be more limited depending on organizational needs. However, these challenges are relatively minor compared to the overall positive experience and support provided by the company.
