Pros

Excellent benefits and room for advancement. Communication from supervisory staff on performance is prompt and detailed. Faculties are very comfortable to work in.

Cons

Very structured environment, as most call centers are. Attendance policy is held to the stickiest letter of the law. Work is done from scripting with little or no variance at all permitted. Multiple clients and varied rules to learn and observe can get confusing.
