Pros

Benefits and your piers help you through the day.

Cons

Managers lie!! Also there are managers who should be out the door. They are more two faced than regular crew members. I just don't understand how this can be. When you get to a certain age this is when they start picking you apart and make you feel like crap!

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
