Pros

Provides all computer equipment needed for remote work. Vacation accrual and benefits from day 1. Decent pay for this type of work.

Cons

Typical call center work - lots of angry callers and high stress environment. Micromanagement and emphasis is on quick call times and metrics, not service. 24/7/365 work environment means you're scheduled to work on all holidays. Need to request holidays, Fridays and Mondays off 6 months in advance. Different break and lunch schedule daily. Sometimes lunch break is over 5 hours into shift. Lack of consistent answers between managers and CSA help line. Forced to field calls about credit issues, but no access to full credit history.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
