Pros

Pay was at upper end of industry

Cons

they hire temps constantly , telling you they want to hire permanently, but no one makes it.out of almost 20 of us in one class no one made it past 5 months. If the phones slow down a little they run you out the door. then everyone complains how shorthanded they are. The hours canbe long and seemingly without purpoe, several of my colleagues would sit fo rhours at night without a call, but having to "look busy."

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
