Pros

People were cool and nice depending on your manager

Cons

not customer support, sales it's the most important part of the job and they WILL fire you if you don't get your sales up.

Pros

remote/chat. Not required to be on phones

Cons

lies,says customer service job but actually a sales job. if you dont have a certain number of sales- you will get fired. sales are monitored weekly with manager, as well as sales conversations.

Pros

the company has a unique vibe and attitude and occasionally hosted fun events. there was a huge cafeteria area that offered a variety of foods to chose from

Cons

underpaid, overworked, and undervalued. I wasn't making a livable wage and was given severe penalties any time I made even a slight mistake. the department I worked out of was an essential part of the company - if we stopped working the entire company would break down. and yet we were barely paid anything. asking for time off was a hassle and being even 10 minutes late lead to even more penalities
