Pros

Great benefits, meal card, free insurance, bonus opportunities, friendly coworkers

Cons

It took over a month to negotiate employment agreement. Recruiter rarely responded to emails and calls and when she did it was usually days later. Would not hear from recruiter for a week then followup questions recruiter had indicated she was not on top of game to begin with. Once an agreement was made and I accepted the position, waited several days before the recruiter send paperwork to start the background process. What is wrong with their recruiting and hr team? On another note, anytime I've had to deal with HR during my time here has been like dealing with a team of sloths.

We're so sorry that the process didn't move as quickly or as smoothly as it should have. Since it looks like you're a current employee, if you have specific feedback that can help the People Team optimize the process, we'd love to hear more about it so we can implement and continue to iterate.

Pros

You are only required to work from the office 1 day of the week and the rest from home. The Benefit package is great. The company has free snacks, fruits and drinks at the office and it provides the employees with lunch at least once a month while at the office.

Cons

You are literately a modern day slave with low pay and a tone of work. After a few months you have to get upskilled (more work) without any additional compensation. You are constantly evaluated: First call resolution is huge, the goal is for the member not to have to call back in at least a week. The company wants the call to last less than 5 minutes (or you get dinged). The company wants the members to respond to the surveys and if they don't it counts against you. if you go on chats, you will have to serve maneuver between two different once at the same time. You ONLY get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It is difficult to go to the restroom because while on the phones there is NO actual bathroom disposition and so you will get dinged and if it takes you longer than 5 minutes you get a message from intrudium informing you that you are out of adherence. The technology is the worse I have ever had to work with. It uses a program called Zscaler that is constantly disconnecting and when it does, it interrupts all of the other programs that are required to work with, in which case you have to inform WFM that you are having tech issues either by telephone or by sending a Workflow and hope it gets approved. While in training you are informed that you will only get paid up to 1 hr while having a tech issue. Workflows are huge and used for everything, including if you are suppose to clock out for the day but you are still on a call and it makes you go over 5 minutes (or you get dinged). Putting in for PTO or Sick Time is also not easy either, it's all about the companies needs so, hopefully you will get approved or maybe not. H.R. is only there a bit while you are hired and of course if you are let go but other than that, not sure what they do because there is no real connection.
