Pros

The location of the Beaverton was easy to commute to. On big race days we would get free food and sodas. Night shifts were easy. PTO allowance was average. The inner NOC circle was good. For a time we worked 4x10. Had a few contests were money and even trips were offered.

Cons

I worked in the NOC for 4 years. Most of the time it was shear terror due to never knowing if you are going to get yelled at, belittled or praised. If you were on their good side life was good but if you got into the lazer beams you would be watched and any small mistake was blow out of proportion. High nepotism where family or friends could do whatever they wanted with out an issue. Only time I ever got a review was to be scolded even though I worked there for several years. When on salary I was oncall 24/7 and during slow times if you needed to leave early you had to take PTO but if you worked an extra day no comp-time was offered and prevented if you tried to take it. During my time there we were never at full staff due to high turnover. Another writer talks about flame-outs this is a true statement.

Pros

Not in a terrible location, on bus/wes line. The subject matter is pretty cool. Awesome management Staff!!! they listen, they are real people with realistic expectations of you. The goals are mostly attainable. The place feels like a "family" and it is by far the best place i have had a job.

Cons

First, this job is repetitive and isn't for everyone, aside from that its relatively easy if you are accustomed to call center work. This past year though, more and more and more responsibilities have been added with zero increase in pay. The size of the management staff appears to be shrinking so we have less support if we need it and the stress on them shows. Also, I am sometimes expected to speak with and become a customer service rep for high end customers (think millions of dollars bet) I was never told this during my interview and it was dumped on me with zero increase in pay and zero actual customer service training. Most recently they healthcare benefits are changing and coverage is going down while price is going up. We had our best kentucky derby ever and we get rewarded by getting even less pay. The worst part is upon hire you have to sign a document that says you are required to have their health insurance and pay all the costs, but never disclose this until after 90 days how much money they will be taking from you.
