Pros

Great benefits. Great pay. Exceptional facilities in the office. Opportunity to grow within the company. Most of management are friendly.

Cons

The past couple years they have become extremely sales driven to the point of being unproductive. They push you to sell card products and if you don't meet their completely unreasonable sales requirement they will write you up for it. Incentive is mostly based on customer surveys. If you receive a bad survey you could lose a portion/all of your incentive that you worked hard for. Even if you received the survey by error and it clearly wasn't intended for you, they won't do anything about it and you will lose and incentive because of their error. They penalize you for taking a bathroom break even if you have a medical condition and provide them with a doctors note. Endless fighting with other departments within the company because of lazy reps who don't want to be handling a call they should be handling.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
