Pros

You will never be short on hours. Building was nice. The Christmas bonus was nice but I've been told it isn't guaranteed.

Cons

Very stressful, controlling, up tight. I only worked there for 6 mouths. The main reason I quit was because you were never aloud time off. I had a surprise vacation from my husband that only was 3 days that I needed off and I was told no after a month of letting the owner know. I told her 3 months before the trip, I didn't want PTO I just wanted it off. If you or your kids had any dr. appointments you had to use the PTO, if you had it and if you didn't you had to make it up on top of your normal 42 hours a week + your 1 Saturday a month. There was a lot good employees and then there were people there that looked for any reason to get you in trouble. Also they have everything locked up. One of my duties was mailing out letters and in order for me to mail out something that had more then 5 pages I needed a large envelope. I would have to get a person with a key ( that was on a different floor), get it out of the locked closet. It was a waste of time. I should of been able to have that in my workspace. I was told all the time that "there can be no mistakes" That was very stressful when starting a new job and never working in an accounting dept. I feel they want to be a good company but they just want to much control. If you are part of their family i feel it is less stressful. All of their kids worked there.

Pros

When working here my favorite part was the people I worked with. Never thought I would meet such great people at a debt collection agency. Wonderful office to work in, besides being freezing cold. Great insurance options and 401k availability.

Cons

My first month I went home crying almost every night. The management staff is extremely cold feeling and strict. There is so much pressure to reach certain numbers. My first year and a half I did great with my numbers but I was so stressed and worried of failing that it started to effect my physical health. And time off is next to impossible your first year. And I would get to work 30 minutes early and sit in the parking lot in fear of being late, because as stated in another review if you are one minute late you have to sacrifice some of your PTO. If collectors are talking they are scorned like children. I understand the importance of productivity but to eliminate socializing between co workers entirely makes for a long and dreary work day. Also the mandatory Saturday's and long days were horrible. I always thought that should be optional for those who want more hours than 40/wk. Also while I was employed here you were assigned the workload of 3 people to finish in your own in half the time. Very overwhelming. I ended my employment on great terms, loved the staff and the owner was understanding to my situation but happy to not be constantly stressed and walking on eggshells 45 hours a week.
