Pros

Free lunch Good benefits Hybrid working

Cons

During probation, you will have to meet strict standards. I was encouraged by my lead and assured I had nothing to worry about and all I needed to do was show improvement. I passed probation, and my quality was steadily improving. Today, I along with half of our social team, were pulled in with a meeting with HR and were falsely accused of "misconduct." They would not elaborate further, and let me go. The team lead simply doesn’t care about her employees and will give you false hope about your performance and string you along with no communication. Consistently cancelled meetings and encouraged practices not condoned by Wise. There have been many meetings where our team has addressed communication and grading concerns (since we are reviewed based on our cases), and she will shut you down. No open communication whatsoever. Shameful practices.

Pros

Wise used to be an amazing company to work for. I've been there over a year, and I used to believe the role was a dream come true - hard, but the benefits and work/life balance were worth it. Wise made a big deal about valuing employee mental health, so they limited the amount of time agents spent on the phone, which made it feel different from any other call center positions around. Schedules and shifts were consistent as well. You had weekends off, except for one day a month, which made spending time with family easy.

Cons

In the past few months, Wise has made sweeping changes to the Customer Service role. Agents are now on phones the majority of their time. Schedules have moved to a shift bidding system that has been broken since it launched, resulting in agents having weird and inconsistent schedules (i.e. Mon 12-8, Tue 8-4, Wed 12-8, Thurs 9-5, Fri 8-4). You are also required to work two full weekends a month now. Because of the broken shift bidding system requiring manual corrections by Workforce Management, you won't receive your schedule for the month until a couple of days before it starts, so good luck planning appointments and life events! Managers (called Team Leads at Wise) takes constant long lunches or walk around in packs joking with each other, while agents are stuck unsupported on the floor. If you ever reach out for help from a manager, you're told they're busy and to lean on other CS agents for help. Meanwhile, you can see them sipping coffee and laughing with a group of other team leads from where you're sitting. By the way, there's a tiny parking lot at the Tampa location, so you will be forced to pay $20-$25 for parking at a local lot unless you want to try to get there early enough to secure a spot for yourself.

Pros

The people are friendly usually The team leads understand if you need time off The office is cozy and allows pets The benefits help you to try and stay healthy Food is provided at the offices The pay is ok

Cons

Jokes are made about mental health The workload is too much to handle with the requirements the team leads are looking for Sometimes the customers scream and shout at you and you don’t know which calls it will be on which is stressful, or they curse at you on chats and say you’ll be responsible for their issue
