Pros

The work is very easy to do. Alot of admin work but once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing. Negotiating with the creditors is not very hard at all. Some creditors are unresponsive but you have a lot of easy ones you can work with to get easy settlements.

Cons

Goals are not very obtainable unless you been there for awhile and know how to cheat the system. This job looks to hire and get rid of people at the same time just to show they hire people. Technically they aren't looking to keep any new people. My whole training class including myself gone because the goals were so out of reach for when you are on a PIP. When you're not on a PIP, you can get 80% and still be fine. But when you're on a PIP, they want to obtain 100% of the goal which is totally unfair. The algorithm favors people there as well. You have your moments when you dig through Salesforce and get good accounts but it's not always like that for everybody. If you was there for a long time, you know how to cheat the system and new people don't get those tricks until they are on their way out. I believe I was dealt a bad hand when I went on vacation in the beginning of the month. Once I came back from vacation, Salesforce was dealing bad accounts for the rest of the month. The following month, I was put on the PIP. I didn't even get a curve or anything for hitting 85% or working hard as did.

Pros

Beyond Finance truly stands behind its leadership team and agents. There is a strong support system in place, and upper management genuinely listens to feedback and provides resources necessary for us to succeed. Whether an employee or client opportunity... one doesn't outweigh the other and are both equally important here at Beyond. The collaborative environment makes it incredibly rewarding to coach and mentor team members, helping them develop their skills and hit their performance goals.

Cons

None at the moment as this is a great company that encourages career and opportunity growth!

Pros

Good pay and benefits, remote.

Cons

Horrible training. It's disjointed and hard to follow, basically consisting of a handful of PowerPoint presentations; no mock calls, limited shadowing, or anything else you would anticipate as part of contact center training. There are NO standardized SOPs. No centralized resources or knowledge management system. Extreme micromanaging. If you are 16 minutes 'idle' you get a disciplinary point ('idle' is measured by phone calls and moving to new accounts, NOT keystrokes, mouse clicks, or any sensible metric). The primary metric is hours on the phone. However, you, the employee, cannot see your total call time on the soft phone system. I was told contradictory information as to how this was measured. In fact, leadership was extremely cagey when questioned about metric calculations, going so far as to tell me "there isn't really a formula," for MATH. There is ZERO positive culture. You can't take even a moment to get to know your coworkers.
