Pros

Better benefits than almost any other call center

Cons

New employees are constantly being training because most of them get fired shortly after starting. You need to fully understand which policies can get you fired and make sure you follow them. If you ask a manager about policy there is a good chance they won't know it either and if you follow what they say and its wrong you will be fired. Since managers are free to lie about what they say (since its not recorded) you should figure out a way to record it (hard to do on Zoom calls). The worst mistake you can make is to take as gospel what a manager tells you. In early 2020 they fired every temp in the last 3 groups of new hires because they made too many mistakes. So rather than find out what they needed and properly train them they just fired that many people at once rather than hold the trainer accountable.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
