Pros

I have been working here for almost 2 years now and I am enjoying it. A typical day in my role consists of a lot of programming in an office, with a team collaborative environment. This position has taught me a lot about team building, and the importance of communication because it will cause a lot of issues down the line. i.e. ensuring projects are error free, efficiencies etc. The most enjoyable part about this job is the level of autonomy I have in my work, I was able to successfully implement a few new processes, and my managers trusted me 100%. Overall, if you are a driven person who wants to put in the work, this is a position I would recommend.

Cons

The only con I can think of is the commute personally for me. Given with the current lockdown situation, I am happily working from home.

Pros

Remote work is the ONLY pro that comes from working at KGS.

Cons

- Unclear who you work for. When giving surveys, you say either KGS or VRI and are not allowed to specify to respondents which you really are. - Unreliable hours. Holiday hours are abysmal. - Favortism. - Rigid script. If you try to be personable or friendly, you are disciplined. If you are rude, you are discplined. - Time theft. The company does not pay you when you are in the bathroom, when you disposition a call, or if you "take too long" on certain calls. - No PTO. No benefits. No overtime. - Team leads are condescending and rude. They are not helpful and they do not have your best interests at heart. - Overbearing audits. Your calls will be listened to all day and they will discpline you for even the slightest error, even if it was a technological error. - Useless managers. The manager of the Orlando branch of KGS does absolutely nothing, is not helpful, and is slow to resolve issues. - Ridiculous standards. They expect you to get multiple surveys a day but give you call queues with nothing but voicemails, disconnected numbers, and dead air calls. - Wage theft. If you do not get X amount of hours a week, they will reduce your pay from 15/hour to 12/hour. They will mess this up frequently and will be slow to fix this issue.
