Pros

Pretty good benefits and schedule flexibility

Cons

Company seems to be using attrition to drive down IT costs, which means that every time someone leaves, existing positions get more complicated & have more responsibilities. Even mid-level managers are being squeezed and don't have the time they should have to devote to employee interactions. To offset the staffing reduction, they have offshored some positions, justifying it by saying it keeps them from having to hire people now that they will need to lay off later.

Pros

Very good benefits, excellent training. I really enjoyed my job duties, made a lot of friends through working with the agents.

Cons

Much backstabbing. One day everyone was best friends, the next, fellow employees treated you like you had the plague! My supervisor was part of the oroblem. She consistently showed favortism, and talked to one employee about the other. Very unprofessional! Sometimes felt like I was constantly walking on eggshells.

Micromanagement in excess

Pros

Company has a good reputation within the industry. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. Strong stock.

Cons

Micromanagement in some roles, senior management seems misguided. This company has some great jobs and some that you just need to get out of.
