Love this part of my work. Benefits of small business that's 90% B2B I suppose.

The phone tree is one level deep by design. You dial, listen to options and then pick one. There's no bullshit 'use the website' or 'have you considered our other shit?' The hold music doesn't suck and it's only interrupted by an actual person that can help you.

No script when you are put through. Just me, the user, and whatever I can cobble together and cajole into a solution.

And there's no fucking AI.
