Decent pay but no consistency

Customer service representative (csr)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay with regular bonuses if you meet goals. No mandatory weekends.

Cons

Mandatory overtime is regular. Lab will tell CS one thing and then will do something else, leading to confusion with customers.
