Pros

You interact with financially illiterate people who are easy to scam out of money, and you get a cut.

Cons

Catfish job description. Oh, you applied for customer service? Well, you are actually going to be debt collecting. Targeting strategies that mail advertisements to zip codes that have a low percentage of high-school graduates, and a high percentage of people on disability/social security. Also, calling references on unpaid pay-day loans and telling them "your name is on a loan that is past due." Dishonest, yet technically true. Targeting those who are older. And unfortunately they would pay up when the loan actually belonged to their grandchild or neighbor. Nothing beats sitting in the call center and hearing your supervisor shout while on the phone with a victim/customer "I don't care if you have cancer! If you took this loan out knowing you couldn't pay it off, that is fraud! We're going to keep calling you every day until you start paying!" Then 2 weeks later their wife faxed in a death certificate. We still called 5-7 times a day for a week after that because of our 'system' the guy didn't die from cancer, he took his own life. Companies like this have no reason to exist. I left as quickly as I could, if I didn't have dependents and would have been homeless I would have left the first day.

Pros

The people are great. They really seem to be a family. With regards to time management, the family-work balance is great. Overall several positives in the IT space. One of the things I appreciate most is that the management really does care and listens. They work hard to make us effective and efficient. Again, I highly recommend this company to any in the software realm thinking of switching vocation! This is the end of my review.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Met some great people and had some fun, got some benefits

Cons

Everything. Horrible company to work for. They have annual layoffs. Sometimes too many people working on the same project. Supervisors were horrible and would throw you under the bus to protect their own butts. They did anything they could to get around loopholes in states to give pay day loans to people that shouldn't get them but as long as they paid their last loan they could get another one and you could see these people spiraling into more debt as they paid high percentages. Management just gave lip service. Surprised they are still in business. Heard they were recently doing more layoffs and downsizing AGAIN. While they did have some benefits they do not out weigh the many cons.
