Pros

The benefits package was incredible, and VSD doesn't discriminate against anyone... even pregnant new hires looking for maternity leave and benefits.

Cons

The verbal abuse from the "clients" was terrible and I spun into a depression working there. Expect to deal with perverts and very, very cranky customers on an hourly basis. The company did what it could to offset some of the difficult calls but truly it wasn't nearly enough. The company is very stingy with paid time off; only offering 17 days per year and nearly half of the year is "blacked out" meaning you can't take any time off. The company also schedules you regularly on your "days off." Many of the employees are severly overweight because you're sitting still for 9+ hours a day, and the company offers no healthy alternatives whatsoever: no gym, no free time to workout, and definitely limited healthy choices in the cafeteria. In short, I didn't enjoy working here one bit.

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.
