Pros

Not a lot of micromanagement, relatively quiet workspaces, able to take your lunch on your own schedule (provided you clock in/out in the right intervals), and introverts like myself don't have to spend a lot of time dealing with customers on a one-on-one basis. Good, solid, and inexpensive health care options, decent retirement fund matching, and a nice incentive program for perks like movie tickets, gas cards and other items. Opportunities for advance seemed pretty fair if you could stick it out long enough and had the motivation.

Cons

Extremely high pressure environment with a daily quota that sometimes seems impossible to beat. Layoffs occurred frequently during my time due to folks unable to meet production standard. QA "points" taken off for very minor errors or typos. Changes constantly put into place that affected morale and workload without taking any staff concerns or complaints into consideration.

Pros

Work from home is a plus. Hours are daytime with weekends off.

Cons

Terrible Manager. Makes you feel unwelcome and co workers are afraid to ask questions or stand up for themselves. Micromanaging is a huge priority to management. The pay is low and no chance of raises or bonus of any sort. You better be a fast learner as it's a one and done. If you don't understand they make you feel bad about asking questions or needing more help. New sites being added but no new hires. We just are told work harder/ faster and the expectations are You WILL get it done. High stress and constant SOP changes. An updated manual would be great. Written instructions for your position. Step by step. Not much room for advancement, only parallel positions.
