Pros

They'll hire anyone. The "drug test" is a joke. I know someone who smoked the morning before her interview and passed the mouth swab later that same day.

Cons

Basically, there's a serious lack of communication between and within departments. No one know what's going on, especially managers. Misinformation is rife on the production floor, resulting in more frustrated customers and employees. If you're a floor agent, you have to fight to receive the commission you earned. The commission structure and supporting systems are designed to cheat people out of money. HR doesn't know what the hell they're doing either. Production managers want to blame their poor performance on training and recruiting. Corrupt site managers are allowed to come in and single-handedly promote people that didn't earn their positions. Salaries are pathetically small compared to peer companies.

Pros

Lunch lasts for 1 hour. Some managers are nice. Compensation is not bad for a call center job.

Cons

Contradictory set of info provided during training compared to later on, and sometimes you get penalized for providing honest information that you aren't prohibited from giving out. There's about seven million rules that you are expected to follow, and many of them are dumb. Some managers are annoying/jerks. Management gets really frustrated that customers leave from conversations dissatisfied even though we are literally calling them as Collections Agents for a credit card company to tell them they are thousands of dollars in debt. If you get 2 Compliance fails they fire you (and Compliance fails aren't just for regulatory things the company can get sued for). Expected to follow regulations that do not even apply to our particular company. (Newsflash! HIPAA does not apply to credit card companies!). Now if you get 4 dissatisfaction surveys from customers they fire you. (Getting fired at this job is extremely easy! I nearly got fired when I was reluctant to take a transfer call I was NOT authorized to take and upper management said I wasn't being a "good teammate" because of my reluctance to take the call.) Dissatisfaction surverys are also ridiculously hard to dispute. Customers are extremely horrible, foul-mouthed, stupid, vindictive and nasty. You get like 2 hours of PTO per month, which is about 2 days out of the entire year. No holiday pay - they will just send you home with no pay on Christmas. People steal your lunch if you put it in the company fridge. There's an oppressive atmosphere of complete misery that hangs over the whole building. If the company decides to move on to a different call center, they call a townhall meeting the day that it happens without any advance notice to let all the call center agents that they are being furloughed or let go. Also, they have confirmed finding a bed bug problem in the building. Run, run away!
