Pros

The insurance is good and you get it quickly after starting. There are some good people that you meet here, however they are usually fired within a matter of months. It is a challenging environment to work in.

Cons

The hours are very poor. There is no chance for promotion unless you are part of the current in crowd. The culture that is created is one that promotes arrogance, aggressive behavior and dishonesty. The general feeling is of fear and anxiety amongst the employees. You do not receive a performance review until you have upset management. You are expected to perform at such a level of intensity that it creates extremely high tension; associates tremble with fear. You are flat out told that you are expendable, and no matter how hard you try or what you accomplish, you will likely end up being walked out the door once they find someone who is not at the verge of a breakdown to replace you.

Pros

Health insurance from day 1 is always nice.

Cons

Hostile work environment. They are constantly hiring and firing. If you don't meet the metrics, be prepared to walk. Management fires people and says nothing to their teammates. You can take a reduction in pay to get vacation time which I found completely ridiculous. I did not ever feel like they appreciated the hard work that I did. I exceeded all metrics, trained new hires, and monitored the team chat for assisting on calls. People who have worked there for 2 years have never gotten a raise. In addition to the above, I found the people there to be extremely unhealthy. Netflix offers food in the break room, but all of it is cheap with high sodium levels and MSG. simply add water, heat and serve. I'll pass. The customers can also be downright abusive at times. Why on earth do you feel the need to cuss someone out when your movie didn't arrive? Calm down folks!

Pros

Open book business - nothing is hidden. If you want to find out something, no barriers to reach out across departments or ranks. Head count is low, so operation is lean and mean. Great pay.

Cons

If you're not earning your raise, you are on your way to get fired. No cafeteria (but free box lunch).
