Pros

You work with a group of people who share the same goal, all trying to get out of this department after 12 months (required). If you accept this job, be ready to continue to work OT without pay. Be ready to be asked to come to the office everyday. Good mental health benefit to let you see a therapist when the company messes up your well being.

Cons

Top management: bunch of people who do not follow the company's core value. Customer experience and employee success is the least on their agenda. Directors: Forces employees to work without pay. Plays favoritsm and give warm leads (equals to money) to the preferred reps whom they consider "one of them". Money is only awarded to people who say yes to everything regardless of their performance and skills. HR: Non-existence, nowhere to be reached. Never speak to one after receiving the offer letter. Line managers: Individuals who endure unreasonable demands from upper management to secure their positions, often resorting to dishonesty and contributing to a toxic work environment to cover up poor decisions made by directors or senior leaders.

Pros

Work from home and create your own schedule. Paid training. There is an option for therapy through the company.

Cons

They are hiring, but there aren't enough tasks to make the minimum of 10 hours a week. There are no raises and no promotions. They take a long time to respond to emails, if they respond at all. The only benefit is a 401 (k). $14 is the pay rate, and one can only work 20 hours a week, if there are enough tasks. The past couple of exams for training set one up to fail them. I have been doing this job long enough to know this. They constantly threaten your job, which really affects morale and confidence. There used to be bonuses, but they haven't done them in a long time. There were times we were given permission to work up to 35 hours for the week, but again, it has been a long time. Last one, they didn't have enough tasks to allow for workers to get to 25+. They also offered stock options, but they ended that as well. They made a major mistake on my end and threatened me unless I complied. Eventually got an email that they were wrong, but they didn't apologize. I saw they were hiring freelancers with a maximum of 25 hours a week. I wrote to management and was told the rest of us were only staying at 20. I am currently seeking other employment. There are other companies that do the same work with higher pay and actual benefits. This was once a good job, but once Telus took over, it has been downhill. I would not recommend this company anymore. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a sinking ship.
