Pros

Benefits include company-paid medical and low-cost dental and eye coverage.

Lunches were $2, and the food wasn't bad for the most part.

The holiday party was insane. The company gave out hundreds of thousands of dollars to their employees.

Cool contests kept you motivated, with football tickets, shopping sprees, and vehicle giveaways to name a few.

Opportunity to make really good money, with some reps making over $100K a year.

Most managers were pretty cool. Mine was amazing – the best supervisor I've ever had. Too bad he doesn't want to move any higher because he doesn't want to babysit.

Cons

Worst time-off policy I've ever seen. Need a vacation day? Good luck getting one two months out. Need a three-day weekend? That's a laughable thought. Getting time off is like pulling teeth. Monotonous work, pissed-off customers calling about their horrible email service. If you don't like phones or like being chained to your desk, this is not the job for you. But the more you're at your desk, the more money you will make. The two go hand in hand.

Advice to Management

Get a better time off policy.

Allow workers to use vacation time for sick time in an emergency instead of docking their pay.

Don't keep people chained to their desks by upping utilization. This will and is stressing workers out.
