Pros

Generally, ARCSmart is lenient on attendance and the work is very low stress.

Cons

Honestly where do I start? I can tell you if you're thinking about working for ARCSmart that the $15 or $16 an hour you are chasing isn't going to happen, they'll break it down for you that there's a pay structure and make it sound like it's possible to achieve a living wage (Gilbert is pretty expensive, you might be able to squeak by on their pay if you manage to find an extremely cheap studio in Mesa.) The bottom line is that you are going to be making $12 an hour on SME, or $11 an hour on Consumer with very few and inconsistent exceptions. They pay structure is untenable, in part due to a deeply flawed and shady break system that management has directly admitted contributes to lower adherence and attendance scores across the floor, leading to a sharp decline in the number of people reaching the goals needed to get paid above minimum wage. Right out of training (which is only $11.50 an hour) you will be hit with a deduction from your pay for $5 to cover "Ear muffs" for your headset. This is regardless if you bring your own headset or not (admittedly, it's a plus that you can bring in your own nicer quality headphones, because the ones they provide are legitimately painful to use.) All in all it will feel like the company consistently wants to pay you as little as humanly or legally possible, even going so far as to deem you "part time" if you go home early for a day and costing you your second break regardless if you clocked it. Everything about this workplace is suspicious, the majority of positive reviews you see on Google are from members of management who were asked to write them by higher ups (I recognize their names,) and I can only assume that the two vague reviews- especially the one chiding anyone who speaks negatively of the company as "Toxic" on here are from them as well. Steer clear of this place if you value your labor in any way.

Pros

A 9-5 job in beautiful Gilbert.

Cons

Not only was the place infested with bed bugs, they had to change their name to ARCSmart because they were known throughout the community for their business practices. The owner and his daughter only care about money at the end of the day and will jeopardize their brand image as evidenced by the name change. I had multiple checks bounce, and they paid me way less than what was promised initially on multiple occasions. They are too shady, and a blight upon our town.

Hello, we are sorry we did not see this review sooner, we take these matters very seriously. ARCSmart was founded in April of 2017 and was not a part of any name change, we do apologize for any confusion. We also have never had an incident of checks bouncing. If you were an employee of ours, we would like to investigate this issue further, please contact us at HR@arcsmartsolutions.com so that we can look into this immediately. Thank you!

Pros

-Steady work: Once you're out of training -Easy for those with technical skill: 70% of the work consists telling people to turn a device off and on to see if it works

Cons

-Outdated equipment: The computers, monitors, chairs and desks are all either damaged or outdated. I have yet to see a monitor that hasn't had some kind of image burn or scratch mark and the computers are so slow you are expected to show up 10+ minutes early as to not clock in late. -Poor communication: You can expect a coaching from a team lead about once every 2-3 weeks but you will get conflicting. -Very poor benefits: They do have dental, vision, and health but dental and vision are far better at other places and the PTO caps at 40 hours in one year and is to be used for both sickness and any vacation. -High turnover: As this company contracts out to a larger company if the higher ups want to make cuts don't expect any job security as plans can change month to month. -No work life balance: You can expect to work the entire weekend as is the normal schedule now.
