Pros

Great benefits, decent pay, nice people to work with, the ability to work from home

Cons

This company was not prepared for the pandemic. I didn't mind the job the first few years of working here, but once Covid-19 pandemic struck and staffing needs changed, it all went took a turn for the worse. They very quickly became a numbers company, and work/life balance went out the window. They treat their employees like numbers and expect them to work like machines. A lot of employees have had to take leave of absence due to the extreme stress the job causes. You are expected to complete a very high amount of work, while maintaining quality, and also answering the phones which often times involves angry customers. It is not possible to complete it all in an 8 hour work day. It is not good for work/life balance. If they don't learn how to value the employees they have, they will find that turnover rate is going to dramatically increase, if it hasn't already. Being able to work from home is a perk, but it is not worth the taxation on your life outside of work.

Pros

Some good things include work from home being available if you’re too far to commute to an office. There is a good 401K match. You don’t have to work holidays.

Cons

The cons… I have worked metrics driven positions, but this feels too intense. I don’t like the “big brother” feeling of always being watched. Even if you’re in a ready status and waiting for calls, if you’re not moving your mouse, you’re considered idle and that hurts your metric. The sick/PTO buckets took a little getting used to. I didn’t realize using my sick time also took hours from my PTO. I’ve been used to those being separate things. I also hated feeling “new” to the job. You would learn something one way, but then be told to do the process another way only to be told later that you’re supposed to do it a different way. It became hard to feel confident in my job.
