- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great colleagues and team. Great compensation and benefits. Good work life balance
Cons
Average age is higher compared to other industries
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- The job is pretty straightforward: You take calls all day ranging from general questions about credit card products to interest inquiries. - Pay is decent, easy job to get for fresh grades. - Paid 6-8 weeks of training, great training environment and resources. - Your happiness level when you join your team is entirely based on how good/bad your manager and assistant manager are. Ask around about a manager before deciding to join their team.
Cons
- It gets repetitive FAST. - If you're a quick learner, you'll have the skillset down for this job in a few months and everything from there becomes redundant. - The job has almost no challenge, you can only move up to different departments after a minimum of a year in your current role. - Your performance is entirely based on metrics. If you're not meeting them ,expect the management team to be on you 24/7.

Continue reading - Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
WFH, interesting and variety of work, senior management supportive and also realizing in a pandemic that work and life balance is important. Already during team meetings people recognized for great work and that is important.
Cons
I am not sure yet if the work from home will continue once the pandemic is over.

Pros
Great long term job, where managers want you to grow and to work your way up. They train you. Great benefits.
Cons
After your training, it could be hard to have the schedule that you want.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Best coworkers. Fairly young staff as the turnover is so high.
Cons
Literally everything else. Unlimited PTO but they judged you really hardcore if you dare take it. Micromanagement to the max. They watch you when you eat, take a break, log on, log off. Extremely repetitive work, boring. NOT a good entry level. There are NO growth opportunities. Manager will try to hold you back from advancing because the turnover rate is 70%. Unethical management and will FORCE you to sell products you dont need to poor clients that can't afford it. Poor systems, voice recognition that doesnt work half the time. TOXIC TOXIC TOXIC. LEAVE IF YOU CAN
