Pros

401k match, PTO. Read the cons

Cons

Work on major holidays like New Year’s, etc. Non-stop, back-to-back calls. Verification process for each client is ridiculous outdated which caused them to get more irritated. Overtime is mandatory up to 12 hours per day with months of overtime without end. HR is useless and takes 3 days or more to answer simple requests. Help desk for IT-related issues are as clueless and repetitive as they can be. Tech and audio issues most calls. Clients can barely hear you. Outages are not paid. Angry, demanding, and rude clients (“participants”) 90% of the time. Which I understand because the company is subpar and their contracts are mediocre. Time is tracked to the last second. Metric system requires you to be present in front of your computer 95% or higher of your 12 hour shift. (Prepare yourself for vision and back problems). Consists of 3 breaks that are 15/30/15 minutes. Not comparable to a 12 hr shift where all you do is talk non-stop about people’s financial burdens. Remote so it is very cut and dry in relation to interpersonal relationships. Chats through Teams are as strictly professional as one would hate. You feel like a number, a statistic, like an lemon that needs to be juiced before it can be discarded. Almost 1-3 call reviews per week with degrading feedback. Management would listen to your call to give you feedback and most of their feedback is negative no matter how great you can be. Participants provide me with excellent surveys every week but yet my call reviews would be negative and very demotivating. I am so burnt-out. My training class had over 25 people and it now boiled down to 3. High turn over rate. Have been here for a over a year just because I need financial stability through a long-standing company but this isn’t it. Applied to work for FIS but then put me to work in TRowePrice while FIS handles my pay. Very confusing and uncomfortable when handling HR and IT related issues. Promised laptops 5 months ago and no one knows their tracking information. Training was mediocre, five weeks to learn everything about 401k policies and procedures from scratch and with no financial background is insane. Trainers would just read off PowerPoints and then when we spoke in unison on how the content was very unclear, they made us take calls and do transactions. Training consisted of various tests which you had to pass to keep your job. Even after one year working here, enduring everything, getting call feedbacks, we still get tested on irrelevant topics with WeLearns, and supervisora do side by sides which consist of then listening in on your conversation with a client on real time and reviewing it. Everyone knows how burnt out everyone else if but since they monitor everything you say and do, people are scared to rant in our group chats so when they can’t take it anymore they quit abruptly without a single word. That’s very disappointing how we don’t receive support from anyone. When someone decides to quit they take your access right away so you don’t mention anything to the poor others which just need someone to talk to. Great people just you never get to know or talk to them. Strictly robotic. I will be quitting soon enough because I don’t see myself getting a raise or climbing up at all even though I can consider myself really great with participants based on their own personal reviews. Also, they mostly have really late shifts for new hires. Bonus pay takes an extra two to three pay periods after promised to be disbursed and it’s taxes so you won’t get the full portion. If you leave with less than a year you have to pay half back and if you have less than 9 months I believe you pay the entire bonus back.

Thank you for your review and sharing that FIS offers good time off and benefits.

Also as a current employee you are encouraged to discuss the above mentioned topics with your manager.

Pros

I can't think of anything to be honest

Cons

Inconsistency, low wages, constant battles internally to accomplish goals, general lack of respect for workers. You are not looked at as a human being, but rather a number. Even though you work remotely, there is extreme micromanagement where it makes me miss working in an office because you seem to get more breathing room that way. The company plays favorites and although they say there's room for growth and opportunities within the company, I do not think that is true. I have been told inconsistent information over the years. I'll follow what they say, but then get penalized for following that information and be told different. I'll follow the new information, and then told that's incorrect and get gaslighted into thinking I made this up on my own.

Pros

In your interview ask "how many reps hit quota across the company?" It's not what you think and may be a sign that you need to ask more questions. Out of 50 people that I interacted with semi-regularly, there were 10 people that were standouts in different positions. All of them have left except for 1. I would bet he/she is out of there in 12 months if they still haven't promoted her/him. The pro is that I got to work with these people before they left the company for better opportunities and the other pro is that I'm working for a much better company now! When you are interviewing, reach out to a few reps on LinkedIn. Ask if they can share their perspective on the company and the role. It would be worth your while to ask them the questions that actually matter.

Cons

Cons Health Insurance - You are basically forced into the High Deductible Plan, which kept getting more expensive and covering less. Pay - Base is Average. You have to ask for raise every year. If they offer you a raise and you should negotiate. Windfall Clause: This gets enforced so there is a clear cap on how much you can make per deal. Hint - it's not great. The stock plan - If you're an employee. Why do you want the stock of a company riddled with debt going into an inflationary cycle, that underperforms the S&P? Do some basic financial analysis (i.e. how much debt is on their balance sheet? What happens is inflation goes up and the stock continues to underperform YOY?) 401k - company match percentage is weak and below industry average. Quotas: Management can adjust your quota if you find a big deal. They will do this to benefit their pay and pay you less, which is either great if you're the management team or unethical depending on which position you're in. "How many reps hit quota last year and the year prior on this team?" Quotas - You might want to ask if the Hiring Manager or their Leadership has ever adjusted a rep's quota to pay the rep less money on the deal when they had a large deal coming in. If this Manager has not, have other managers? Does that seem right to them? Why would they have done this? Coworkers: The best people leave for better opportunities. Happens every 2-3 years. Just ask about turnover on their team over the last 3 years, 2 years and 1 year. If you ever provide ideas for improvement they will "consider them" and then middle to upper managers will gossip that you are disloyal. I saw this happen first hand multiple times with people in various roles.
