I'm definately not a work on the phones kinda guy.
I currently work there as a policy service representative for about a year in a half, but I'm looking for other employment currently. When I got hired I was under the impression that after being on the phones for a year, the job opportunities to be off the phones would open up left to right. Well that wasn't the case, even for those who have degrees. The job it self has its moments that I either like it or hate it. The employees on my team are awesome, and my manager are all great but the employees who have been there for a while are for the most part are bags and assholes, but when they give out our two bonuses throughout the year they are all kiss ass to our great CEO and claim that they love there job. My job itself isn't too bad because for the most part the members are cool. How my job is done is what I seem to hate. They expect you to be nosy and find out every single thing that is going on in the members life. I've always kept to myself so it's very hard to be nosy bit I've been told numerous times to get over it and ask high capital questions so we can upsell our products, or give members financial advice in which they don't need half the time. I get paid very well for not having a college degree yet, and truly blessed by the guaranteed Christmas bonus, and a non guaranteed February bonus which is 18% this year, but pretty much if you're on your manager's list then forget it you probably won't even get half. Overall it's a great company to work for...if you're not on the phones.

I worked there for 3 years as a programmer. Pay and benefits were good and I got decent raises and back then they had 4 day work weeks which was really nice. Still it was the least satisfying job I've ever had. Just a very political environment with everyone trying to protect their turf and job security which made it extremely frustrating to try and get anything done. Felt a lot like what I imagine government jobs are like. Plus working in a sea of cubicles is just depressing.
Bingo. I'll say this about Rackspace. It was timing. I was 7 years into my profession. So when I got their it didn't take long for me to break down all the bull facade. Once I realized the pros and cons It wasn't a place for me. I would imagine that many others have left because Rackspace has a shelf life. You can only be full of for so long. The es were mighty fine though. There's a lot more to the story but I'll leave it at that. People can't handle my opinions of that company.
I work there and really like it tbqh. Of course, as a veteran it's easy for me to like the mission and not be totally overwhelmed by the culture. Because make no mistake, both are very distinctive and apparent. I should also qualify that I don't work on the phones and am a full-time employee.
Its the best company ive ever worked for. I shoulda came here years ago!! They care about their members (military) and take care of us employees. Privately owned and dont have to please shareholders. Benefits are out of this world im in heaven
Are you on a temp contract? They've been hiring a lot of seasonal.
Full time with investments
and if you want to hook up, you cant beat that place. Hoes galore. They will sleep with anyone.
Accounting at an insurance company... even more so.
