Pros
Diverse, creative, opportunities to grow and excel in skills and salary, you get what you want to put in, coaches available to assist and increase skill levels, co-workers are amazing, fabulous leaders within the management team. This company has been fun and financially rewarding to work for. If you are not a morning person, evening shifts are available. I accepted a pay cut by accepting to work for blinds.com from my previous job and started from the bottom. The reason I did this is, because I read on the "Houston Business Journal" that it was rated as a place where happy people work. A positive environment with a pay cut vs. a negative high paying work environment was a chance I jumped on since I knew I would grow here. I ditched the high heels and wearing uncomfortable executive suits to come to work in shorts and flip flops if I wanted to. I accepted less pay than in my previous job. In a short period, now I make close to what I used to make without the stress and without the uncomfortable (I am going to chase a million $$$ work attire look). Big boo on that old job attire requirement. Plus, the CEO is a casual down-to-earth kind of guy. He is always considerate and truly shows that he cares about every one of his employees. Awesome, awesome, awesome company.
Cons
It is a call center so it can get a bit loud in the office sometimes. You can easily gain weight as there seems to be free food all the time. A mini gym in house would be "marvelous" to blow off some steam after taking a call from a not-so-friendly customer. Sometimes, the BIG BELL is dinged to celebrate a co-worker making a huge sale is super LOUD and I have to pause my call to allow the noise to calm down so I can continue with the customer. I get that is part of the culture and it is cool but, I can live without it. I keep my huge sales to myself due to the avoidance of the BELL announcement.
