Pros

Lots of great co-workers, willing to train with no experience. They do give you independence and freedom.

Cons

"Growth through customer service" is dead. Pay plans are a serious joke, except it is not funny. You may last a few years, but you will figure it out. They will find a way to plug the hole if you find a way to make money. And don't dare say anything, they are the biggest bunch of babies.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
