      It is a job for the extremely patient and temper controlled.

      Pros

      The work team leaders were knowledgeable in helping providing answers when you got stuck on a call. I loved the work at home environment and the opportunity to build my family tree on the company dime.

      Cons

      The customers were extremely rude and obnoxious. I worked call centers before but ancestry takes the cake. The low key racism you have to deal with and let slide with customers and the 9.00$/ hour pay was not worth my sanity.

      Pros

      -great coworkers -great atmosphere -tons of perks -minimal stress -great mission -great benefits -free workshops -12 week paid maternity leave after working full-time for a year

      Cons

      -Pay doesn't compare to other companies as well. Ancestry is well behind the general trends for compensation (at least for lower level workers). -It's also hard to tell which positions are where in the food chain a lot of the time, so if you want to move up in the company, it makes it harder to know which jobs to apply for--especially across departments.
