Really bad management!

Pros

The only pros are that it is full time, indoors, and you can sit.

Cons

Asking for help is met with sighs and eye rolls from the supervisors. Once you're out of training you are on your own. You don't know week to week what your schedule will be. Quality control is inconsistent. You are told to do one thing in training and then another on the floor. Pizza and a pretty new building don't make up for a bad environment. You are constantly monitored. Lord help you if you have to pee. Instead of asking if you need help on a call taking a long time you are sent a chat message telling you to hurry up. The threat of a first and final is always hanging over your head. Cliques and favoritism are obvious. If a call escalates and the customer asks for a supervisor you have to stall until they hang up. I don't remember a supervisor ever taking a call.

Pros

Steady hours per week Full-time job

Cons

company policies that have to be followed allow for little to no compassion for customers who have fallen on hard times or had extreme circumstances. Angry, cursing, threatening, screaming customers make up at least 80% of the calls you receive.

Pros

The hours were normal Mon-Fri. Overall the staff was easy to get along with

Cons

The turnover rate was extremely high. It was very obvious that we weren't cared for. God forbid you have life happen. They needed bodies taking calls and didn't care about their employees.
