Pros

Great opportunity for work at home. Training was great. Coaches seemed willing to help with any question you may have. Lots of room for advancement and many perks. Hours were never permanently set, rotated monthly so you weren't permanently stuck with hours that may not be ideal. If you are a student, or retiree this may be the ideal place for you.

Cons

Stay at home parents with busy home life this may not be the ideal place for you. Hours were not very flexible for work at home. Once you were given a schedule you were required to work this schedule, unless you were able to swap the complete schedule with another employee (which most of the time other employees wanted the same hours or days off as you. If you are a stay at home parent, the schedule may not be ideal when you have children to pick up or drop off to school. No overnight hours. Management appeared to be friendly, however when notified about the scheduling conflicts, never received a response, never given any other options and when notifying management about resignation due to hours that were impossible to work, never received a response or an acknowledgement. Logged back on to the company network to realize that my profile had been deactivated. Took this as the company acknowledging my resignation. Wow seems like they care until you are no longer of use. Coaches are readily available to answer questions although sometimes it can take up to 3 minutes for a response which doesn't seem to make a difference until you're on the phone with a frustrated customer. Also, sometimes the coaches reply with very sarcastic answers, and make it seem like you're not paying attention to what is been taught when sometimes they really didn't read your question correctly. Very few coaches like this but they are a little cold at times.

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.
