Pros

Get to work at home

Cons

You are literally just a number to these people. Do not ever expect to get a raise because they do not do raises at all. You have no say in your schedule, you can bid for a shift that they say is based on metrics, however even if you are top 2% you will get the exact opposite of the shift you bid for always. If you are late 1 min at any time it counts against you , no matter if its an isp issue or you are 1/2 dead. The other thing, is you must have very thick skin. you will be answering complaint calls for a cable service company. You get yelled at and cursed out for a solid straight 8 hours everyday. Fun. Only take this job till you find something better , its not worth the money and the loss of faith in humanity. Oh and be prepared to NEVER have a holiday off no matter what they tell you. Been here almost 5 years , I definitely know what im talking about.

We believe in a pay-for-performance culture, which includes our compensation rates and our schedule bidding process. We have recently rolled out a new P4P program that gives our call-taking employees the opportunity to earn individual P4P bonus opportunities without competing against other employees. The employee is completely in charge of his/her ability to earn the bonus dollars each quarter! All our hourly employees accrue 5 PTO days and 7 Floating Holidays throughout their first year of employment, to be used as they see fit. We do not designate specific holidays, as we feel this is a personal decision each employee should make for themselves. Maintaining good performance and attendance benefits all our employees!
