Pros

Good pay at $12 an hour during training. If you have no soul, then you should have no problems. Weekends off.

Cons

If you have a soul, and feelings, get ready to be sad. They've only been hiring for the 1pm to 10pm shift, and once it's after 7pm, everyone on outbound is pretty much furious with you. Yes, you will have to call people's houses all the way up until 9:59pm. The chance to get sales are few, as there are not as many inbound calls coming in anymore, yet they continue to hire. This company is becoming obsolete, no one want to spend $130 on a glorified phone book. Most of my buyers were, sad to say, elderly who weren't really sure what was going on, and rich alum who could care less about dropping $100. I think the only reason they do it too, is because they think the school is getting a cut, which they aren't.

Pros

They have worked with me on a few occasions with some medical issues. They let me work at many different hours, and have never given me a hard time for leaving early for an appointment or a family issue. Flexibility was excellent, and being a parent, that means a lot. Great team members. Can't say enough about the people I worked with.

Cons

How about treating your employees with respect? Change policies all the time? Cut our office space in half? Raises? Headcount cuts? Still not sure if what I did was recognized. I wish they realized how hard I worked, but all I get was more work when other positions were cut. I don't know the last time I actually saw a raise before I left. I was tired of not getting even a cost of living raise, so I went somewhere else where I feel more appreciated.
