      Days off for holidays, but toxic work environment

      Customer experience specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Days off around the holidays.

      Cons

      This place will push you to a psychiatrist. They underpay you while having 500+ in queue, they’ve outsourced their quality team so your metrics will suffer so they don’t have to give you a good bonus, they make you do mandatory overtime and don’t tell you until the last minute as if you don’t have a personal life. They block of certain months and won’t let you take your PTO and oh guess what if they don’t approve it and you still need the time off you get in trouble. I’ve never experience this type of horrible treatment in my LIFE!
