Pros

They work with your schedule. They have a nice brand new break room.

Cons

They don't offer over time. PTO CANNOT be taken around the holidays. If the calls are slow, they will send you home. and if the calls get busy they will call you to come back. They will make you a shared agent so that way when calls get slow you can be useful in another account. They will not pay you additional for doing more work. They do not offer raises for customer service reps; Even if you've worked there 5 + years. they pay every 7 and 22 of the month. Sometimes pay can seem longer than 2 weeks. Bonus is offered but they make it nearly impossible to get it. You have to tell your supervisor your going to the bathroom and notate it on a aux time tracker sheet; like if we were children.

Pros

The training schedule and anticipated work hours were very convenient and aligned well with my availability. The onboarding process initially seemed organized, and I appreciated the opportunity to start quickly.

Cons

There was a lack of clarity from the beginning. During the interview, I was assessed on chat support, but training was strictly voice-based. This shift in expectations was confusing. Communication and expectations were not clearly aligned between the hiring process and training. There appeared to be little flexibility or understanding when unforeseen circumstances occurred. On Easter Sunday, while in training, I lost power at 1:48 PM due to circumstances outside of my control. Within a short time frame—by 3:07 PM—and despite a 30-minute lunch break during that period, I received a call informing me that I was being let go from the contract. There was no opportunity given to explain, recover, or rejoin training once power was restored. The decision felt rushed and lacked empathy or consideration for real-life situations that can arise in a work-from-home environment.
