Pros

Decent pay with the ability to take on more hours as needed. Good benefits if you're full time.

Cons

Felt overworked, especially during Covid. Would often be told the week before that we would have to work overtime the coming week. Usually it would mean 1 extra per day but did end up working 50 hours per week once as a full-time student. I did not enjoy my desire to work 40 hours/week not being respected. Did not enjoy being on the phone with angry customers all day long and having minimal support from management when handling rude customers.

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
