Pros

Choose your own hours and choose the type of calls you want to support.

Cons

The company does not provide technical support. Independent agents have to rely on advice from other independent agents advice that is loaded into a help data bank called Athena. The company's servers must be getting old, can't verify this because it is very difficult to speak with anyone with knowledge of the servers and the configuration requirements. The company utilizes Java in their My Schedule application in order to post the hours that you are available to work. I have been trying to for over a week to get this program to work and have had no luck. I downloaded multiple sets of instructions and carefully went through all of them and still could not resolve the communications error. The company advises agents to load a previous version of Java that is not longer supported to align with their servers. This puts a lot of risk on the independent agent. The risk is based upon Java being utilized by hackers to gain access to systems. A known security risk with older versions of Java is the POODLE virus.

Pros

Work from home and flexible schedule.

Cons

Bad training. Some trainers have absolutely no experience in the area they are training others for. There were two training facilitators who kept talking about how 15 minutes is on time and on time is late but they never opened the training room until 4 or 5 minutes later. One kept saying they had a military background and the other one said they grew up in a military home and that’s where they learned to always be on time. After that, they make the people who came on time listen to off subject random stuff and then decide to start training 15 minutes later. They made comments about some people being late all the time so they said they were waiting on everyone to come before they started training. They even said this when they knew the week of taking calls that some people might be late because of calls. Had us listen to a few calls. Some they said were what we shouldn’t say or do and then they turn around and talk to people in the training the same way. When we did take calls the systems didn’t work and we didn’t know what we were doing. Not surprised because the facilitators didn’t take calls so how can they tell us? Said they had 350 to sign up for training but during calls they ended up with 40 something people left.
