      Pros

      I'm afraid I have no pros

      Cons

      The hiring process was pretty straightforward. But the training? It was two weeks of mostly talking and very little hands-on practice, which isn’t great for a job like this where there’s so much to remember. The team leader who trained us wasn’t very helpful afterward—basically expected us to know everything right away, which was super frustrating. Also, the whole setup felt like being back in school. If you miss a day in the office, you have to make it up, and they want an explanation for everything like you’re a teenager. Oh, and if you’re late three times, even by a single minute, they start threatening to fire you. It’s ridiculous. The rules feel super one-sided. They’re always on their personal phones but expect you not to touch yours. And if you’re working from home and don’t log in right, even though they can see your work through emails, they won’t pay you for the time. Like, seriously?During training, they even told us they use their phones to talk about stuff or business so the company can’t track it. That’s the vibe there, just sneaky and unprofessional. They don’t care about new hires at all. You’d think they’d try to support you during your first few months, but nope, you’re on your own. Honestly, it was terrible from the start. I only stayed for couple of weeks because of the money, but I never felt like it was the right fit. If you want respect and a healthy work environment, skip this place. It’s not worth the headache.

      Micro Managed, Poor Pay

      Customer service advisor
      Former employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      Remote Work Nothing else to say

      Cons

      Poor pay Micro managed Constant calls with only 15-30 seconds break in between. Couldn't stop to get a drink or go to the toilet without a call from a manager, even for 2 minutes! Communication was AWFUL! Any issues would take managers hours, sometimes days to get back to you. Systems and equipment ALWAYS breaking Promised promotions put off Made a coach then had to take an assessment as they promoted me "without an official assessment based solely on my excellent performance " So I was a coach for 6 months, then had to take the assessment before I could do it again several weeks later. Rude, ignorant, and unqualified managers (all but 2 of them) Was registered physically disabled and promised help by the company for comfortable chair and equipment, 6 months later, I still had no help, so I left.
