Pros

- plenty of OT - easy job -weak attendance policy

Cons

-incompetent micro managers -performance doesn't matter, who you talk to does -ridiculous and stringent rules -low pay I worked here for 8 months and was a top performer. I had attendance issues as I was also a full time student but always worked within the system and made up my time missed which is in policy. Job was a lot of fun, great managers and great co workers. Then management changed. "Visitors" from corporate came to town and all of a sudden it was micro manage central, people there for months fired for crossing their legs on a call. I was a coach and considered one of their "go to guys". Later found that was only the case because they were short on coaches. As soon as they had more coaches I was taken off of that because of a write up from 2 months prior about "a bottle on my desk". Even though I helped many new hires through their training with a smile on my face, I wasn't one of "them" so they cut me. One day I got my second bad monitor in 8 months and i reacted upset and flung my headset to the floor. The next day I went on vacation for my birthday and got a call that I was fired. No "last and final" warning. No nothing. No respect. Because management doesn't respect you here, not in the least.

Pros

Beautiful office, great benefits, flexible hours, competitive salary, fun co-workers, they'll pay for continuing ed classes. Things have changed for the better in terms of the abuse of management; the owner now keeps to himself and is even helpful at times. The company is small and lean and with that comes open communication between colleagues, which is something that lacked in the past.

Cons

Money is coming in but there isn't much to show for it. The technology is in much need of an upgrade; computers are from 5 years ago and the server is ancient. There could be more clarity on when the employees could expect reviews, salary increases and/or bonuses.
