Data Entry Operator dying of boredom!
Pros
Nice working environment. No office drama - Everyone just keeps their headphones on and gets down to business. supervisors are very friendly. Torchmark (United American) has great company benefits......even a pension which is non heard any more...not that it will still be available by the time I retire.
Cons
The Data Entry Operators are paid by the piece so there is absolutely no socializing. Many employees are introverted and unable to have a normal conversation. It is a very gray type environment, kind of like factory work with everyone just burried into their computers and not having time to get to know their co-workers. You can't switch jobs for 4 months so turn over is rather high. Quota is based on a very very high rate of speed. Only the fast people make their quotas. Over the last year, I have become very sad working here. It is a punch in, punch out job and you must watch every minute of work so that you can make quota....I mean every minute. If you take a bathroom break, you will have to make up those minutes in order to meet quota.
