Pros

If you don't have a job or any job offers, this place will hire you. On the spot, pending your drug test. Practically impossible to get fired as long as you show up when scheduled and on time each scheduled day.

Cons

If you don't kiss your supervisor's butt, they will make your life a living hell. Don't divulge anything personal to them, they will tell everyone else on the team your personal business, including your own performance shortcomings (not meeting or getting all top ratings on surveys, your call times, etc). Even when you're new at the job. You can have a call that is picture perfect, they will find something wrong. "So, you managed to do everything correctly on that call. Great job! But, it was only 9 minutes long. If you had gone for 13 minutes, that would have been much better, so, watch your call times!" It doesn't matter that you solved the issue, but they have to find something to berate you on. If you don't join in on the supervisor's kiss butt team and act like he's a god, forget about getting assistance from him on anything. Maybe doing drugs with him will get you extra points in your favor, since they obviously only drug test for employment, not after. I used to do drug and alcohol counseling. I know when someone comes back from lunch high. I've seen great supervisors or floor assistants get demoted without good reason or proof of false allegations that were launched against them. You better appreciate it when your supervisor makes a go for you. God help you if you reject him. A lot of the workers can be nice. The next level technicians (ihd) are horribly rude and the Network Technicians for Verizon are even worse! Many customers go on and on complaining about their bills to you or swearing at you when you don't even work in billing and complain continuously while you're trying to fix their issue. You are told that you are not supposed to hand a call over to a supervisor until the customer demands one at least 3 times. You will get into trouble if the call is reviewed and it is discovered they didn't ask it 3 times. It is called call avoidance.

Pros

They paid their pittance on time. I am a more confident person having left the job and most of the training was good. My fellow agents were fantastic and the only thing I stayed for.

Cons

No voice. Treated like a bum on a seat no matter how good you are. No support from management. Repetitive job. The salary was insulting, people in the same job role get paid 20k+ and we were just above minimum wage a 6.44 an hour. No change of progression, it was well known that the senior management wouldnt promote a good agent on the floor as their stats looked good when given to the client. Shifts were terrible and they often screwed you around with a few days notice and didn't care you might have had plans. I would really be here all day. Thankless job. Only work there if you're desperate.
