Pros

Great benefits, great people, and flexible scheduling to assist in the work/life balance. A lot of excellent resources provided to employees to help lead a healthy and prosperous lifestyle.

Cons

From what I have observed, it seems that males are disadvantaged at moving up to leader roles. The company really seems to go over the top in promoting women over men. Other employees that have been with the company much longer than me agree to this as well. I think more emphasis should be placed on the skill set of the employee rather than trying to fill quotas based on gender.

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
