Pros

Pay was only slightly below average

Cons

Overworked, bosses didn't believe in hiring enough people, worked 16-19 hour days several days in a row, took on thousands of dollars on my personal credit card because company wouldn't issue card, other departments dumped their work onto IT department and never lifted a finger to help with anything, company is run via Excel rather than actual enterprise tools, directors from Ireland make decisions for the USA having never seen what actually goes on. Toxic work culture, zero work-life balance. Avoid if married, have children, or want to study anything. Pay is just average and often below. Be prepared to spend 6 out of 10 hours in conference calls with zero decisions being made. At times, was forced into video conferences while traveling on highways, saw others doing the same, even from Ireland. Insane. No care given away all regarding 5 hour time difference. Not least on my list: Irish attitude came across as toxic, overbearing, and casual regarding breaking OSHA rules and basic work ethics. Senior leadership barely able to run a low end gas station, never mind a multi national billion dollar company.

Pros

There are Absolutely no pros to the job

Cons

You will be miss treated by upper management who while is expected to be held by the same standards you are willing never actually uphold those standards for themselves while simultaneously being abused by the employees who are your direct reports because this company gives basic employees several protection against disciplinary actions making it very difficult to correct poor behavior and remove underperforming employees. You will be undercompensated for all of your work and be expected to work yourself to death all to line the pockets of the people above you who have absolutely no idea how to truly run a customer service business where the focus is the customers and the people that brake care of them
