Pros

They are flexible with schedules

Cons

Higher management is shady. Highly inconsistent. NOT the job for everyone. This is a call center job with most calls due to billing. Just because they are advertising new management it doesn't mean it is a good thing. Most of the good supervisors are gone with new inexperienced ones replacing them. You are often told one thing and the very next day told that it is now wrong and to do something else.

Pros

Working from home, when you do get to work from home.

Cons

They tell you, you will only be onsite to train for 2 weeks and the rest is at home. Well that is a lie.. they make you come back onsite from time to time to train. The training is horrible. No one knows what they are doing. You ask a sup, or t2 and they don't know. You ask them what department takes care of this.. No one knows. They promise you a pay raise after you get trained in other areas.. That's a lie. Been trained in three different department and still no pay raise. They ask what hours you want to work, then after training you get one full week to actually work your schedule then it changes. Was working 4 10's, now I have to work 5 8's. You don't get coached for anything, because your sup has to coach everyone, and they don't have time. The tools are a joke, nothing works. You have to follow a horrible knowledge base when taking a call. And half the questions you have to answer are unrelated, or the tool for that question is not working. But yet you will get a QA, if you don't notate that their tools don't work. Chat is a joke its all people in the Philippines and they don't understand anything you are saying. Work here at your own risk

Pros

They do hire and promte from within.

Cons

They do not pay their superviors the pto they banked if they provide a notice and leave the company on good terms. They overlook or refuse to let you interview for a higher position if you exercise the open door policy adn tell higer management the issues you are having with management.
