Pros

Sometimes they had free food. It was air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. Free soda.

Cons

Working with Team Leads who would rather be on their cell phones than helping new employees. A supervisor who wants to monitor your every working minute-including breaks. A bleak environment-so much so that when I pass that place I thank God I quit and no longer have to be in there. Lack of proper training and throwing someone to the wolves ahead of schedule. Training someone for 3 weeks with a non trainer-when the usual is 6 weeks with the Department trainer-and expecting immediate results when you throw someone on the phones. Daily meetings from same supervisor demanding results and for me to write down every single thing you do every minute of your miserable shift.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
