Numbers Driven Company without care for the individual.

Gcx bse customer service representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits, making new connections, free eBay store

Cons

Unrealistic expectations for stats. Expected to give the best customer service in under 9 minutes while site issues are constantly popping up without fixes. Updates for the sake of updates instead of forward progress. Removing any thinking that isn't aligned with the looping mess that eBay is inside.

The worst culture ever/micro management/managers like to be big bosses

Business Outlook

Pros

Just a big (just outside people think) logo in your cv

Cons

Honestly there is nothing good to say about ebay. I love my job but I really don’t wanna go to work because of poisoning environment. I want to leave the company since everyone try to take advantage from every thing and managers love to have people in thier team who always praise them. In last 5 companies that I have workes, ebay is the worst one. Worst part is management style at least in our team.
