Pros

free food everyday, nice people and fun events

Cons

The product has never worked and they would rather build the company off of dark marketing. They treat people that work there like slaves meaning limited breaks and monitoring your every move including having your phone at your desk. If you're on the phones, prepare to be yelled at every five minutes unless you can take on the mental repercussions.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our priority in Customer Care is maintaining a high standard of service for our customers at all times, which includes supporting, coaching, and providing ongoing training for our front-line team members. We do not allow cell phones or electronic devices for personal use while assisting customers because we believe our users deserve our sole attention in providing a customized, distraction-free experience. While waiting for incoming calls, emails or chats, as well as during breaks, our agents are welcome to surf the internet, watch movies or listen to music at their workstations. Developing a positive work environment is both an on-going and evolving effort at Spokeo. We also make sure to provide each team member with regular breaks and full-hour lunch during their shifts. We encourage team members to reach out to their supervisors if they feel the need to take additional time between challenging calls. Our goal is to maintain a great balance between the needs of our Customer Care staff as well as the customers we serve.

Pros

I worked on the email team a millennia ago, not sure if it still exists today. It was a fun job not answering calls. Very small biannual raises, maybe a quarter or two increase an hour. They reward seniority and tenure. Actually, it's one of the reasons why I left, couldn't stomach seeing some of the leadership day-in-day-out. One of the team leads couldn't contain his energy whenever he was provided attractive female customer service agents to supervise, tried to put on alpha-ish displays and wore small tight shirts. Kind of created a weird aggro morale for his team, even promoted several times up to executive office for some reason. BUT thankfully, my coworkers were awesome!! This was definitely a temporary job for someone in between careers, there were lots of unique personalities, lots of snacks, company events, so I'd say the morale team (yes one of those existed) did a pretty good job.

Cons

Whoops, just read the above
