Pros

There are none.It's gone belly-up there.

Cons

The management turns on the subordinate employees. Everyone's under pressure and the types of systems used to measure performance are ineffective, incompetent, and punish the employees for situations out of their control. Every minute of their time is monitored and judged. It's more like a prison than a workplace. It's unbearable there and morale is the worst. The Blue Box values have been abandoned a long time ago.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
