Horrible Experience

Pros

Benefits (401K), The company used to be a good place to work at but not anymore. Everything changed within the last year.

Cons

They only care about stats. I wasn't even able to go check my work because it will bring me down on stats while others went fast and got praised for it while making lots of mistakes. For example, once I got a defect because the agent that worked the case before me rushed and made a mistake, and then I was held accountable for not double checking the other's persons work. Of course I didn't have time to even check my own work! Also in the department that I was in, they treated us like little kids. Always made such a big deal about even taking a bathroom break. They lied to us, saying promotions were coming up while no one got promoted for another year. Horrible place to work at. They also forced the same people to work weekends and I was one of the agent so I always had to work the weekend and wasn't able to take off. There are lots of other cons but I believe this is enough to make anyone not want to work here.

Pros

Great pay and hours. Work from home a big plus. Building friendships within each team vital. Starbucks inside LIFESAVING!

Cons

Great expectation on call scores. Focus is only on and for the Exceptional call the Great Great anything less is looked down upon no matter how good it was. Calls are fast back to back and we can easily take 100 or more a day. Very stressful at times. There is not enough emphasis on the good qualities of the call strategy leaving some feeling as if the goal is just not worth it I’ve seen people go home crying from the stress angry or just sad. Taking away incentives Not A Very Good Idea. Managers need to be on the same page there is so much miscommunication on the floor.
