Pros

work at home opportunity, when I was in the BT team it was a good opportunity.

Cons

they treat you like crap, they have weekly meetings in management on who they can fire and how they can fire that person, even when you are doing great. even when you are at a 96% or higher and meeting ALL the requirements and you have been on the same coaching plan a for 7 months straight because you supervisor says you are doing great. NO opportunity's for growth, unless someone dies or gets fired. IT was a running joke to see who would be fired next we ALL knew we would be fired. it was HELLL working there! I would recommend looking for OTHETR options if at ALLL possible it is the DEAVL.... You will loose your heart sole and mind...

Pros

Location is convenient if you live in Northern suburbs and don't want to commute to the city. Depending on your management there can be significant flexibility in your work arrangements.

Cons

Everyone is running their own agenda and executives don't have a clue what is happening around them.
