Pros

-Co-workers are fun -Full time hours (if you can make through the whole week without having a mental breakdown) -Mediocre benefits.

Cons

-Horrible management -New Client is really bad. -No longer a fun environment - Not allowed bathroom break, or system issue downtime. Forced to work through them. Honestly, don't apply here. You will get screamed at on the phone by for 8 hours a day and management does not care about your mental health and will do the bare minimum to ensure you get proper coaching, team meetings and required training. The place will be going under before the end of 2020. The new client is horrible. They advertise Fun @ Work event, but you will never be able to participate in them because you will never get time off the phones to go to them and only management will be able to "have fun".

Pros

It was pretty sweet going into work each day knowing that I could put about 40-50% pf effort into my performance and still be one of the highest ranked agents. There are definitely some awesome people that work there, but if I wasn't getting paid $12 an hour I never would've stayed as long as I did. If you don't mind constant gossip behind your back and walking on eggshells trying not to get fired each day while you are at work this is DEFINITELY the job for you!

Cons

You may get fired and then rehired within a 10-20 minute time span. (happened to me and multiple others) People love you to your face and then try to get you fired as soon as you are out of sight. I met maybe three real/honest people during the entire year I worked there. Watching good agents get fired left and right while other (mediocre to put it nicely) agents are able to fall asleep multiple times while actively on chats and them some others that have a 45% show rate still have jobs.
