Pros

coworkers for the most part - in the same boat; many good people that really need a job

Cons

you're scheduled at certain time and are expected to be ready to take calls at that time - unfortunately there are multiple systems that need to be booted up and logged into separately prior to being ready to take a call - you're expected to come in before your scheduled time; I've read other instances of flexible hours but not at this location; training was a joke - totally unprepared for taking our first calls - I think maybe 5 out of original 31 in my training class are still doing this bs - misinformation is also common among some of the redhats along with a lot of 'I'm better than you because I'm a redhat' attitude; many supervisors don't care - they'll laugh, joke and even scream loudly while the minions are trying to understand the little old lady on the other end of the line w/a phone problem. Some, though few, of the supervisors seem to really have a handle on things and actually will help other supervisor's folks when in need; only one trainer I've had seems to be worth his salt. 'A fun place to work' sounds great but the only people this seems to apply to are those not on the front lines - screaming laughter, nerf gun fights, throwing footballs around folks trying to take calls is ridiculous, especially when your help flag is being ignored...

Pros

Good for training pay and that's about it.

Cons

The pay is crap for the amount of work that is expected. Have to listen to customers complain and cuss you out while you have sit there and take it. People have been there for many years without the chance of promotion, have to know someone! You're lucky to want to stay after a month of being on the phones.
