Pros

This is an excellent training opportunity; with that experience, you can transition to a more substantial job outside of a call center. The demands in such centers can be exhausting, leaving you drained.

Cons

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for overall well-being. When work dominates our lives, it can lead to stress, which in turn affects both physical and mental health1. Striving for equilibrium between professional and personal spheres is essential. Here’s what we mean by work-life balance: It’s about managing your professional responsibilities while ensuring you have ample time for a fulfilling personal life. Balance doesn’t necessarily mean a 50/50 split; it’s about finding what works for you. Individual perceptions of balance vary based on personal needs and circumstances. Why is work-life balance important? Health: An imbalanced work-life situation can lead to stress-related health issues. Relationships: Long work hours can strain personal relationships. Happiness: Prioritizing balance contributes to overall happiness. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about finding a balance that feels right for you. If needed, discuss well-being with your boss and explore opportunities that offer more flexibility

Pros

I made some friends with my co workers, I got to learn new things and projects that I find will be useful in finding a career in the future. They pay PTO, You get a paid lunch and 2 30 minute breaks.

Cons

Consistently sending faulty equipment then they get upset when your equipment isn't working right and your in idle. Supervisors that don't want to do their job and will lie to save their own selves. Cut throat and toxic behavior from the company and the contract company. A great Lack of communication among supervisors with each other and regular employees. I was given lies that I would get a dollar raise per year. It was remote only since I was hired during covid 19. I started a job with the thought that I could move up eventually. I end up becoming one of the best top performer's and always helped others. Out of the blue one day were told that we can't work our project and had no work for 6 months but was told to sign in. It came out later that someone messed up with confidential information and those people got fired but that took one of our jobs that we were able to do for this other business we contracted with. We then got put onto another project and things were going well for a while. Then out of the blue the company we contracted with had our company fired a bunch of employees from our department under a different supervisor that messed up some things that cost the company a lot of money. Then little by little I noticed a lot of act employees getting let go from the contract company. When we finally got a raise but it was only because minimum wage went up to 17 an hour. Later our supervisor we had for years and was close to got fired for no reason. They decided to appoint the helping supervisor as our supervisor and that's when things got really bad. She talked down to me and many others and one person quit because of the bullying they were getting from the new supervisor. At some point little by little I really did not want to be there anymore. Then we got new supervisors which never responded to emails or texts and there was no communication. I got called and told I was being let go because I lived to far from the office. Considering that I got hired on remote only, did not make sense at all. I was told I would be given a letter of recommendation but when it came down to it they said they couldn't do it so they basically lied. Most of the higher ups act overly friendly which is micro aggressive but never really giving any real kindness. Most of us stayed because we cared about our supervisor and team, we had for a long time.

Pros

Pay Guaranteed 40 work week Benefits

Cons

Literally everything else. My manager was fantastic when I left but the uppers could not all get on the same page. When you ask a serious question to figure out why something is a certain way the upper management would change the subject. They aren’t all that accommodating to disabilities and you have to give them every piece of evidence to prove that you need the accommodation. They promote quickly and then when you question or ask for help they make excuses and lies just to demote you. The communication skills with all of the other management is horrendous. When it comes to referrals don’t even think about referring your family because they will tell you all of the information and then tell you that you can’t work there because of you being related to the person that did the referral even if you aren’t blood. When you do quit one of the uppers will text and call you to try to get you to come back when it was their fault. Oh and don’t even try to tell them that you are putting in a two week notice because they will just part ways with you that same day. When telling them about all of this information they don’t know what to do and just let you hit your mental and physical break and they don’t do anything about the other agents that consistently get fail after fail for the same thing because it’s considered a “coaching opportunity” but someone who actually does their job and tries to conform to their BS rules that constantly change and will change mid call, will get written up which after “three write ups” it could be a termination if you have a bad boss. You also can NOT have anything on your desk (planner, notes, normal paperwork that doesn’t even pertain to the job) or you can be fired if it is seen on a WebEx. You are expected to be on camera every time your in one of their meetings that could be an email and forced to deal with customers who, because they can’t access their account, yell at you and call you names because “that’s the way this job is”. No deserves to be given in explicit detail of how someone is wanting to end your life. (Yes one particular customer will give you in explicit detail how he wants to end your life). You are frowned upon if you disconnect and it can be a fireable offense because it’s considered “call avoidance”. Policies are constantly changing and no one talks about it until it’s too late. You have to wait for agents to take management calls and these agents haven’t been there long so they aren’t confident in what they are doing. When it comes to their quality, you have to abide by their policies and even if the screen is recorded and it’s clear you were told the wrong information by a supervisor or a higher up, if it’s not in the policy or the agent or supervisor was incorrect you have to take the fail but be careful you get too many and you’ll get fired or be forced to come into the office even if you live almost an hour away and have disabilities hindering you from coming in. Some supervisors are forced to be in office even when they are sick. When you call out you get harassed by the managers that too many people have called out. Whenever someone does call out the ops managers and other higher ups will make fun of those that do call out or are running behind claiming they need to do the same thing. During the interview process they will tell you that work from home is an option and then tell you that it could possibly be an option and when you try to figure out if you can work from home and what the requirements are you get told to stop asking because it’s not happening which in turn makes you want to quit. When it comes to raises you are supposed to get a raise every year but what they fail to tell you is if you get promoted or demoted in that timeframe your “yearly review” changes to that new date. I was there for almost two years and didn’t get a raise. They will not give you a pay increase if you switch departments and will make you feel guilty for even taking time off. You are forced to work holidays and good luck getting it off. You have to submit your request no more than 60 days in advance and they are horrible about communicating your pto to your supervisor or to anyone who handles scheduling for that matter so you are having to answer your phone on your day off to explain that you are scheduled for PTO that day.
