Pros

Work At Home is the best part. Using the chat room to connect with managers and fellow employees was also a nice way to ask questions. The first several weeks are the best part.

Cons

Training did not cover many of the everyday issues that came up in sales and service. Excellence in sales and service was "rewarded" by having to go through more "training" which meant that you had to add more and more responsibilities to your daily work and not one penny in compensation more! At $9/hr before taxes, this is absolutely absurd. Was told that compensation would be considered at the "annual review" and in the meantime, the reward for excellence in customer satisfaction surveys and top of the sales leader board is that you get to take on MORE responsibilities in MORE departments WITHOUT additional pay! No thank you.

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.
