Pros

the money. that’s absolutely it.

Cons

where to begin?! micro-managing ineffectively. they don’t ever help where help is needed but make huge company changes where no change is needed. working from home is NOT a plus with this company - if anything they are harder on us because of it.. they can’t see what we’re doing for the duration of our shifts and act accordingly. management blindly follows upper management (those making horrible decisions for people on the front center taking the calls for their abusive card holders) without voicing up for their teams. THERE IS NO BATHROOM CODE. You are expected to use only 2 minutes of “unscheduled” bathroom time per day which is just about an hour each month otherwise you are put on an outlier list for egregious behavior and call avoidance and put on a level 3 subject to termination. this company wants you to be prepared for endless change and they 100% mean that. everything changes constantly. they expect you to adapt at the drop of a hat only for them to change things again. be more personable but don’t stay on the phones for too long.. don’t be transactional but don’t talk too much either you still want to get them off the phone. you get stuck on a call and go over your break? out of adherence.. no way to fix it. Everything is moving over to be automated or AI included. Forget customers filling out their own surveys they have a robot listening to our calls and THAT robot gets to decide how good the call was. As much as this company wants to act like they care for their employees with things in place like free therapy sessions through healthy minds — the therapists they are giving us also agree that the new management team is terrible and the company is taking a turn for the worst. Several employees, several therapists ALL saying the same thing. They throw you to the wolves and then criticize you for how you choose to survive. They have made it increasingly hard to remain and employee with them, and thus I am no longer.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
