Pros

You can get certified on the Meta platform

Cons

I took the job at Sutherland (Rochester, NY) as a last ditch effort due to losing my previous job. The interview process was quick and almost instant. After starting it was very clear this place was extremely unprofessional for what they were advertising it. They lied about a lot of the job responsibilities and lied about the culture and values of the company. People acted and used language there that would make HR flip tables (Yet that didn't make a difference). I learned very quickly while working with veterans that they cheat you out of PTO, bonuses, and penalize you for work life balance. Training was a mess and they made it very clear early on that they only cared about you sitting at your desk. They advertise the place as a call center when its just consulting/ advertising for businesses on the Meta platform. Just instead of being polite about the service they want you to harass the businesses that end up in your book. There were multiple occasions on which a person I spoke with was annoyed and hated the Meta Marketing Pros. Multiple fights have broken out on the floor here and multiple managers have been cussed out on the floor. The place will sometimes reek of weed or feces and don't get me started about the public restrooms here. There are 3 year old's who know how to use the restrooms better then the adults here. Its so unsanitary and disgusting. In fact the landlord dislikes the company so much because of all of these issues. Employees cant even use restrooms on other floors without risk of being written up or be on other floors during their breaks. They hand out final write ups left and right here yet still keep the problematic employees. The biggest thing for me is the lack of trust and the lack of effort they put into maintaining a healthy work environment. The fact that they mess up employee bonuses on a monthly basis and that they just push an extremely toxic work culture makes this an awful experience. Only take the job if you are desperate but please for your sanity keep looking. Get the Meta certification while they are paying for it and run. This place will mentally tear you down. I also want to add that this place hires managers who openly admit they used to sell laced drug and have assaulted people in the past. Let that sink in for the type of employees that work there.

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.
