Pros

Reasonable work hours (40-hour/week with OT), remote jobs available, easy to get time off. At least right now, there's time in between calls so you're not slammed with back-to-back calls with no room to breathe. Don't know if that'll be true in the future or not.

Cons

It's a call center job, so some people like it, some don't. Basically a sales position masquerading as customer service. Floor support and training is a joke. Nothing they teach you beyond uber-basics is going to prepare you for the real-deal. Floor support rarely assists the reps if they have questions or technical issues and usually they're rude and dismissive. While I like my supervisor, I've heard bad things about other supervisors, so that'll be hit or miss.

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
