Pros

I liked the people I worked with and the company has a generally optimistic environment.

Cons

I agree with others that state the pay is $2-$3 dollars lower than other comparable positions. Need to be flexible, as responsibilities can change as projects end/begin abruptly. WORST TRAINING I HAVE EVER HAD. I was one of about 30 people in my training class and was consistently in the top ten for test scores, etc. However, the trainer, who had been with the company for years, was the worst I've ever encountered. While she and I never had any conflict, she would constantly stop training and disparage and take people out of the room to talk to them, for the most petty reasons. Training was for the AT&T program, and it consisted of an overhead, with just a blank blue screen (no actual overlays), and the trainer reading from the manual at a fairly furious pace, with us scrambling to take notes. If we missed something, and either asked her to repeat or asked our neighbor, she would lecture us. We had no system experience until the last 2 days of class and we had to partner up in front of the whole class as our first exposure to the process- she completed berated and humiliated my partner for reacting too slowly and threatened to fire him in front of everyone. I quit 6 hours into my first day on the floor.

Pros

Remote work and great coworkers

Cons

Extremely low pay for the amount of work and the type of calls that you have to deal with. Lots of mircomanaging. Unrealistic metrics. Lack of knowledge and competency from leadership because at no point should your workers know more than you about the job itself. No care for unforseen life circumstances that affect your ability to work. Very stressful and mentally exhausting which often leads to burnout. No recognition for hard work and meeting metric goals. Too hard to get PTO approved. Tech and internal systems are always breaking which affects your ability to do your job. No one is ever on the same page which often leads to being given incorrect information. No room for growth or opportunities to go into other roles. Benefits are not that great. Mid health insurance plans, no 401K match, no parental leave, and no internet reimbursements. They'll sell you a fairytale in training so BEWARE.
