Pros

The pay was decent for an entry-level position. It was also a work from home position which is great. Hours were plenty and at the times that fit my schedule.

Cons

Halfway through training, I was temporarily suspended because of an issue with my background. In an email from who I will call (manager #1 ), I was instructed to wait until I was contacted, which would be after they have looked my case over and that I should not log on to the equipment until then. I also was told that I needed to fill out a form sent by email to me that would give me a chance to explain my side of the background issue in question, which I did immediately. **side note** They were questioning something that happened almost 20 years ago. A few days later I received a phone call from whom I will call (manager #2) asking if I was ready to get back to work, (yeah!!) I was then given new login information, was told "welcome back" and said watch for an email being sent to me containing the correct Meeting ID for the Zoom platform in which training was being held. Great! The next morning at the beginning of training, I was told, again, (maybe by the instructor's helper or something?) that I still wasn't cleared yet and that I needed to contact my direct manager (whoever that might have been) and try to resolve the issue and inform that manager to please send confirmation of clearance and then I could continue. When I did, that person (back to manager #1) said I wasn't allowed to stay employed because I logged into the system earlier than I was told to. I explained the whole phone call the day before (from Manager #2) where I was given new login credentials and instructed to resume training that day. Her response was that I didn't hear DIRECTLY from HER that I should log in, and so for that reason alone, I was being terminated. What was she talking about? How would I even be able to log in unless I was given NEW log-in info, and who else would I get that from unless a manager contacted me to give it to me?? **It is worth mentioning here that not even one single word of the "communication" with (manager # 1) was done by phone call, or chat, or video. Nothing that would allow for an interactive, professional, two-way conversation. Nothing but email.

Pros

The opportunity to work remote is the only pro.

Cons

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was frustrating enough that I feel it’s important to share for others considering employment. The company suffers from major disorganization and a lack of consistent policies. Expectations frequently changed without clear communication, making it nearly impossible to feel confident in your performance or job security. Metrics were unrealistic and difficult to achieve, especially given how understaffed the team was. Instead of addressing staffing issues, the pressure was pushed onto employees. Compensation does not match the workload or expectations. Employees are underpaid for the level of performance demanded, and benefits are disappointing. One of the biggest concerns is that earned PTO, vacation time, and sick time are not paid out, which feels unfair and misleading. Management practices were also questionable. Employees were required to be on camera, which felt excessive and unnecessary for the type of work being performed. Overall, there was a lack of trust and professionalism in how employees were treated. This role could have been much better with proper organization, fair policies, and realistic expectations, but unfortunately, it fell far short.
