Pros

Good Benefits and great co-workers

Cons

Low pay for the industry, they will overload you with claims, expect long hours; overtime is technically not allowed, so they expect you to just work 12 hour days on the down-low -just to keep your head above water. Metrics are ridiculously impossible to keep up with, which is intentional; that allows them to have a reason to fire anyone on the spot, especially close to profit sharing time. Everything is micromanaged, even breaks and heaven forbid you have to go to the restroom outside your scheduled break. Specific to the MDP program - no leadership training at all. You're really only there to fill in gaps in the call center and volunteer for projects throughout all the mayhem. They'll tell you a time frame for a specific department, then it always changes. The 2.5 year program is really closer to 4-5 years. When you call them out on this, they'll tell you "things change constantly". If you complain, you're called into a meeting where you're all told to put a smile on your face and just put up with the inconsistencies. You're half trained for a department, then thrown in with a team, and told "you're an MDP, be better than everyone else". And worst of all, there is NO consistency among sups or management. They set their own rules, and you never know what the rules and regulations are from one sup to the next.

Pros

Organized in the hiring and training process

Cons

They cared more about output and getting results than the understanding of all the knowledge they cram into us. In addition, we were in training/orientation with mostly supervisor candidates. Meaning, first, there were so many people that did things in vastly different ways which created confusion on expectations and overall objectives of the job. Secondly, it meant that those candidates were finding their footing and being evaluated just as harshly (if not more) than new hires, creating pressure that boiled over to almost every individual on a team.
