Pros

Really helpful coworkers, the people that are supposed to be answering your questions usually do not but your coworkers always put 100% effort into helping you when they can. Working remote is nice, but you are tied down to your desk since they use PC's. And if you want to work from somewhere else you have to bring the PC computer with you and find a monitor. Gain sharing bonus is nice every month, usually between $100 to $200 during busier months. PC bonus is nice, if you can meet all the requirements to get it (not logging in one second late during the whole month, meeting call script requirements to a T, etc.) Pretty good training program, spent 2 weeks full training so only went on the phones solo once ready. The times when you are NOT on the phones can be nice, doing admin work, doing system duplicate look-thoughs, etc. But they will be on your *ss the entire time. All equipment provided. Weekly 1:1 and group meetings to air your concerns and ask for training if needed. They are pretty good at offering additional training. 10 days PTO (though it accrues very very slowly)

Cons

2 friends of mine were looking for jobs and I recommended it to them, then a couple weeks later realized they do not want to work here lol.. Here are some things you should know: If you log in even a second too late you will be docked $5 from your monthly bonus and points from your queue score. If you miss a day of work you will be docked I believe $5 for each day. No paid sick leave, it's almost like you pay them to be sick since they dock you from your monthly bonus. Customer are rude, talk over you, call you inappropriate names, scream at you, etc. (which is fairly common in customer service) but you have to keep your tone perfectly pleasant the entire time or you are docked from your monthly bonus. Management really needs some work.. they push and push and push and do not have any concern for you as an employee. Only care about pushing out numbers. BTW there are days they are making over a million $$ in profits and our monthly bonus is only $100.. so where are all the profits going that you are pumping out?? The equipment is super super spotty. The system is constantly down, but you still have to be taking calls with no system to pull info from/enter info into. Or if your phone is down or something is not working on your end they just assume it's you when you have no control over their equipment. Lower management (and people who think they are management but just love to be on your *ss all day) will delegate things to you, but then pick them apart anyway and call you 7 times before you can even finish something because "you did it wrong" even though you haven't even finish working on it yet. They'll then pick them apart in your weekly 1:1 meeting. Super super anal about things that really don't make a difference. They add more and more responsibilities onto your plate without adjusting your compensation. I put in my 2 weeks and got a call to say they are accepting it effective immediately, which they did to several other people, so make sure if you quit you put in your "two weeks" when you actually want to be done lol. Overall not a bad place to work if you are looking for an in-between/temporary job, definitely not a career. Great people, poor lower management, upper management is whacky, poor systems.

Pros

This place started great, much like many of the reviews written here. Working remotely was the best thing about this place. As soon as my shift was over, I clocked out and that was that. Whatever was missed could wait til next business day. The coworkers are great. Everyone is very helpful and willing to support due to the pitfalls listed below.

Cons

1. Management. Their model of micromanaging employees is well documented in other reviews, and I can confirm they're true. They rely on fast change to mask the inconsistencies they cause to policy and end up confusing a lot of employees. 2. System Updates Their dev team doesn't provide a fair warning when an update is rolled out, and there's always bugs to prevent you from doing your job effectively. It also doesn't help that they only provide PCs and not laptops. It would've been nice to work on the patio instead. 3. Attendance Point System They have a point system that tallies infractions based on time and severity of the absence. This is across the board for all employees with no wiggle room. So if something comes up, they'll deduct the points and remind you how many points you have left. This is a poor way to boost morale and ensure attendance is met. 4. 1:1 Meetings Every week you have one of these meetings to analyze your calls, point out what you did wrong, and offer minimal suppport. Mgmt claims they're available to help, but it's seldom the case. There's a level of independence without direction that's expected here, and it is not easy to navigate. 5. Clientele The best part about being on the phones is when they hang up. Most of the customers you interact with on a daily basis do not care about anything other than themselves. You will be disrespected, and the worst part about it is you don't have the ability to tell the customer what time it is of it gets bad. You are expected to eat their attitude with a smile and welcome them back. So, if they cuss you out, transfer to a manager and let them figure it out. 6. Training The first 2 weeks were great for onboarding, but afterwards expect to finish more training as it comes up on your own time. The deadlines are unrealistic for busy seasons, which seem to be a majority of when they're rolled out. This creates impossible situations of juggling customer care with training in whatever free time you have. 7. Compensation They just don't pay enough for the amount of work they expect of you, in and out of your job description. Trust me when I say they'll find more things for you to do, so make sure that comes with a raise. 8. Communication Whatever they tell you, get it in writing. If necessary, send a follow up email detailing what you discussed. They will forget. In summation, this place is managed terribly and the experience will drain you of any energy you have at the end of the day.
