                        Benefits are fine. Training is okay. Management is kind hearted and caring.

                        Cons

                        Biggest problem I’ve run into is that they won’t show you what mistakes you make. They just correct them then have a team meeting discussing the mistakes to watch for. Pay is mediocre and not worth the amount of work they pile on you. Plus you’re expected to take phone calls throughout the day while processing all of your work from your own book of business. Some people get several groups with only a few people while others get huge groups with THOUSANDS of people and are just expected to keep up. They say to reach out for help but make you feel bad about doing so. There is zero opportunity for advancement unless you move to a different department and even then there isn’t a guarantee. Overall this company just isn’t worth the stress. I’m actively trying to leave and I haven’t even been here long.

                        Thank you for your feedback. Your comments will help us to assess our processes and make any necessary adjustments for improvement!

                      Senior Resource Manager

                      Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!

                      Just heard that some companies are going to start paying people for their time if they are asking you to do a presentation or something! Does anyone think this will become a thing?
