Cons

High Turnover Rate Mid Level Management often do not have the qualifications to effectively manage their employees Favoritism Treated like Children by Management Held to an unfair standard of metrics that are used to determine job performance. Low starting wage Poor Work/Life balance Mandatory Overtime during peak season Poor treatment from the customers with little or no intervention from Supervisors The Company expects us to assume "positive intent" with our customers; but they are quick to assume the worst with their employees. Poor morale amongst fellow employees. Lack of honest communication from the leaders.

Pros

Remote, work-life balance, easily post shifts and get vto if you want it

Cons

Hours fluctuate way too much, and repetitive, brainless type of calls. You're walked all over, and have to play stupid with customers because of their "assume good intent" policy, but WOW the amount of people who take advantage of this wild. You will see hundreds of dollars refunded on numerous back-to-back orders of the same person claiming they didn't get their package, or coupons and gift cards, nonstop, with customers always complaining. The complaints from customers still in store on their treatment from store managers and supervisors are shocking, I've had calls hearing those workers yellling at customers. The type of work and level of needing to play stupid is just not for me. I also didnt care for never getting a straight answer from managers, trainers, higher-ups. Everything is always beating around the bush. One time hours were cut back a lot, and they blamed the tariffs that the president imposed, which made no sense. Come to find out from a long-term employee that it was just the usual slow time. It's a weird work environment that you just can't take seriously. If you want remote work, take it for the experience on your resume, but move on.
