Pros

Easy application through another labor placement agency

Cons

1. As titled, very poorly designed training which shows how much they don't care about their employees. 2. You have to purchase your own equipment for work. 3. They do have some restrictions on what technology or equipment (i.e. a specific brand of cell phone), but the recruiter told me there was no restrictions. 4. Remote jobs like this list being home as one of the pros, but you have to pay for the electricity and the equipment wear and tear without any compensation. You can't even write it off the tax return under current tax regulations. 5. The break policies don't seem to consider the health hazard that could be caused by wearing headsets for long hours. There should be microbreaks built in the schedule to avoid occupational health issues. Maybe that's why they don't hire anybody from California because the labor laws tend to be stricter there. This rating/review is only about the mandatory training that the company provides. However, based on the quality of the training, I don't anticipate that this company will care much about its employees.

Pros

Providing communications help for health care, insurance, beginning of life, end of life, counseling, IT. Among the highest minutes in the industry. Great record keeping, and pay is only 7 days after the close of every month. The annual training as well as recertification is paid events. Offers relative independence, after several audits, if you comply with excellence in customer service, you are pretty much on your own.

Cons

The minute rate is among the lower side among language companies. Find that while you can gain lots of successful advice from the company bulletin board, but offering advice is often better to those in authority.

Pros

We are given the tools to do the work and management is good. Very talented, small team of engineers. You are left alone for the most part.

Cons

Some managers are very abrasive and hard to deal with. Pay is dismal (better negotiate a good salary up front) and we haven't had raises in a long time. They don't even keep up with inflation, yet health insurance prices go up yearly. Bonus has no logic to it. It's decided by made up projected numbers that are completely unrealistic some years. There is very little guidance on where we are going except for one meeting a year.
