Pros

Fellow employees are very friendly. Benefits are good. Hours are decent. The atmosphere was one of comraderie and helpfulness. If it were not for OTHER factors, I would still be there. The benefits were good compared to what I have now. The retirement benefits were REALLY good. Fully vested at the start. It was close to home, and the working hours were good. A rather laid-back office atmosphere promoted good working relationships with most of the employees. Past management went out of their way to show and demonstrate appreciation for a job well done, and a willingness to promote growth.

Cons

LARGE corporate structure. Offices all across the country, and trying to make them ALL function the same, regardless of individual areas situations and requirements. Uses a strict and stringent customer service monitoring tool in the hopes of acheiving a VERY high level of customer service satisfaction, but it is almost impossible for employees to acheive the level they strive for and get the job done. Employs J.D. Powers surveys as a guage of customer satisfaction, and does not take the complete picture into account.

Pros

to be honest no pros.

Cons

Working here was stressful, I was starting to deal with anxiety and panic attacks especially when dealing with my Supervisor who was awful since the moment he arrived. I'm one to always be respectful no matter what but at some point you loose respect and you can't allow anyone to disrespect doesn't matter if he's your boss. They fire the hard working people while keeping the ones that do more damage in the work place. Ones that could hurt other employees yet nothing was done while firing the good ones. The Manager that arrived before I was let go was even worst! I wasn't sure what I needed to let her know or not know because since day one when I communicated with her she just brushed me off and never got back to me about anything or she told me to take her off all the emails she was attached to. Then threaten me on an email if I didn't show up to work when I had requested a day off. I mean there's a lot more I can say about both of them. Now about HR... after I was let go I requested termination documents and personnel file in January I waited a month to do a follow up got the run arounds then I was told they were going to get back to me. I waited and did another follow up they ignored my email I did another follow up and got ignored again we are now in April still nothing.
