Pros

Paid PTO, Insurance That is all i can say really.

Cons

Lack of communication. Unprofessional Management. Micromanaged. No one knows their left elbow from their right elbow. Company is run from India and is like a sweat shop. Inaccurate keeping of attendance. Always finding ways not to pay out bonus. Very high staff turn over.

Pros

If you hate to work and love to gossip this is an awesome workplace! Sure you will eventually hit the limit of your salary tier level and then be ineligible for further salary increases unless you're promoted. Sure you won't learn many new skills or development many talents that could help you get a better job with a less toxic organization. But who cares about any of that when instead of working you can spend the whole day talking with the director of your department about your favorite sports teams and how much you drink on an average night? Super place for those who are always present but never there and Retired On Active Duty and brown nosers.

Cons

Company policies and procedures are archaic and obsolete, e.g. points based attendance system, unhelpful once per year performance evals, salary redlines, dozens of policy agreements which clearly show the company does not trust employees and treats them like children. Management plays favorites and grants the favorites perks, notably allowing them to violate rules that are harshly enforced on others and encouraging the favorite to inform on other employees.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere and since it is a chat center there is more opportunity for communication with fellow coworkers. No sales.

Cons

The expectations for performance were unreasonable for a $10/hr job. Once the "honeymoon period" of the new center wore off the true colors came out. Career advancement was promised but after the first wave of hires, no one else was promoted for over 9 months despite the constant need for more QA and support staff. Goal posts were constantly moved and what you accelled at one month was no longer important the next month and you could be close to being fired within three weeks even when you were still doing the same quality of work. Integrity and honesty didn't matter as long as the scores were high. I could have 25 chats in one day, if only 9 left surveys, and if one was a no/yes rather than a yes/yes, that would mean a fail for the day regardless of the nature of the chat that failed. This is a revolving door job and the management doesn't care. I guess when you only pay $10/hr anyone had a shot to fail.
