Pros

It's work from home so you can work in your pajamas if you like. Offers decent benefits package even for seasonal employees. Depending upon the project you get the hours and bonuses can be very good as well.

Cons

Although it's work from home, you must have a quiet noise and distraction free environment. They'll dock your performance if there's a bunch of background noise in your calls. Logging into their required systems can be a major headache and take over an hour during busy time periods. Rather than fixing the slow systems they'll blame it on your pc or network when a huge number of people are also experiencing the issue. They won't pay you for the time it takes to login to their main system even though where I live this is in violation of the labor laws. While in training the entire class was encouraged to work off the clock to catch up on the training courses that were late or past due because of their slow system issues.

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.
