Pros

Discount Decent Supervisors Great Co-Workers Hours aren’t too bad

Cons

While the supervisors are great, anyone above them could be a bit better. They were offering a lot of unpaid time off because they said we were “slow”, but we never were. You are expected to answer 3 chats at once doing multiple things and it’s like a 2 person job. It was getting to the point where we weren’t getting any hours and they never gave us 40 even though we were full time. They were piling more and more work in us in chat and upping the expectations and the pay was absolutely not worth it. I think the company is declining and it’s not getting any better.

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.
