Pros
Colleagues were great to work with. Opportunity to work with several different departments. Value of journalism.
Cons
Declining industry. Layoffs without warning and reason. No raises and limited ability to advance. Rapid front office turnover.
Advice to Management
Come up with a plan - communicate it - stick to it. Employee morale is low and environment is toxic. Show the employees that you care about them.

Pros
Initially the call center was an amazing place to work. Then the company changed management and it was dreadful going to work.
Cons
Management has no clue what is going on. They try to micromanage everyone. You get 10 minutes a day to go to the restroom. So if you have diarrhea plan to get written up. The management used to be excellent. Top notch managers that cared and staff and customers. I did the job of 2 people and was not fairly compensated for it. The call center employees learn of issues through customers then management will “look into it”....
