Pros

Nice coworkers and managers. Pay slightly above average, and good benefits.

Cons

It was great for a while, but then they started crosstraining phone reps in every area. That's a lot of areas. It's too much. Now most have become jacks of all trades and masters of none. They go way overboard with the whole metrics thing. They want you to be working every possible millisecond. They can tell if your stop typing for 15 seconds. They pay okay, but they ask a lot in return. I'm exhausted at the end of every shift.

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.
