BONUSES GONE; DRASTIC PAY CUT

Pros

Weekends off but only if you’re able to meet quota w/o working sat/sun. Management pressures and guilts you into working however many hours it takes to meet monthly goal. No work life balance.

Cons

When Maximus bought out VES they got rid of all monthly bonus pay which was based on individual performance. This cut our annual salary in half for most QAs. No notice was given but our production quotas remain the same. We’re forced to continue doing the same amount of work for less than half the pay! Mentioning concerns about this major salary change does nothing but fall on deaf ears. We have bills to pay and need to know where this company is headed but management doesn’t care. I used to rave about VES to everyone and even recommended the QA role to several friends and family members. Never again. This company strung me along and hung me out to dry. Disappointed and disgusted is an understatement. Looking for a replacement job where I can put my Masters degree to good use and not be taken advantage of. Health insurance is terrible. Huge deductible (nearly $3k). Only two weeks vacation.

Pros

Remote, Good Coworkers, Easy to Digest Training

Cons

Supervisors monitor your computer and record every call you do. No freedom and must always by your computer ready to take phone calls. I would get pinged by supervisor if I take a break a little too long. You have "coaching sessions" twice a week where you get criticized if you dont say script properly. Your schedules are changed without warning and not given an input, nor would it be changed to your preferences. ( I had 10 AM - 7 PM and wasn't allowed to start earlier) Customers that call in would be raging and rambling with questions that can be found on the home website. You would also get pinged by manager everytime a phone call drags out past 5 minutes. They would have 10 people taking calls, and 30 people sitting around "supervising" aka doing nothing. Not a good ratio for those answering calls, while "supervisors" act like backseat drivers. Not good for the mental health of those answering calls as the pressure is all on them. I would be taking 100 phone calls a day dealing with angry customers, with one caller queued up after the other.

Pros

No pros unless you are a masocist

Cons

I was taken advantage of right from the start. I have a documented disability. I requested reasonable accommodations. I got nothing but negative feedback. This company thrives in backstabbing. They don't let you know of any wrong doing until they discipline you. My mother passed away in late May due to COVID-19. Instead of working with me or giving me some extra time off, they saw my reduction in performance due to depression, grief, etc. as an opportunity to let me go. I will see you in court.
