attendance policy and things are constantly changing. WISH THERE WAS MORE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE CALL CENTER AND THE DIVISIONS.

There has been a shift in management style. A lot of pressure and workload is intense. Not a good work/life balance.

No training, no job security. Company will cut you loose whenever they want

Cons

Work/Home life balance was terrible

Cons

Can be a disconnect between management and front line

Cons

They charge a premium price but right now it is chaos. Always short staffed. And the HR guy is an idiot so there is no help there.

Cons

The corporate culture is a real life rendition of Niccolo Machiavelli's the Prince.

Cons

Low ball base pay scale for what job entails.
Consistent issues with Customer Resource Centers. Including extreme wait times for already angry customers, little training and understanding of business unit procedures and geographic differences in business unit pricing, the ability to quote and close sales on accounts that will wind up in your book of business without you ever knowing and will not get even partial credit, and the ability to close an account without consulting the BU or the Rep regarding agreements.
Loss of PTO days for hourly employees if BU closes during weather related events.
The absolute reliance on a database copyrighted during the Reagan Administration.
Mountains of paperwork and few backup personnel in positions that are needed for paperwork signatures or immediate database entry.
The occasional “blue flu” from the drivers.
Hiring can be dicey. Employees can be moved to "upper ladder" jobs that they may not be remotely prepared to handle.
