Navigation to a CSR was not readily apparent, with 7 options ahead of it on the same menu. I felt impatient waiting to hear an option. I would prefer to have some of those options (maybe mailing address and transfer to an employee) be moved to a submenu, or lower on the same menu.

I felt the "Press or say" IVR was user-friendly. I liked that I was given an estimated wait time and a callback option.

I was immediately annoyed by the loud music during the initial greeting. I would prefer no music at that point. The voice was clear and the tone friendly, but the quality of the voice was not as firm as I prefer. There was sort of an underlying weak growl, as if he needed to clear his throat, I found distracting. I would prefer a stronger speaker. The musak during the hold was easy listening and I like that, but it was a bit loud. I prefer really subtle music.
