Pros

-Work from home -Calls are mostly easy -Resources available are good for the most part -The team leaders are excellent at what they're meant to do -They give a good amount of PTO per pay period but there's a caveat, see below

Cons

-Schedule changes are basically non-existent -The pay is middling at best -The calls get EXTREMELY repetitive and it's only made worse by their insistence on following what is effectively a script for every call -The company will recognize you for being the best in a certain area but will do very little to actually compensate you for it -You do NOT earn commissions unless you're on the sales team and if you want to switch, you won't get any information or a straight answer as to what the details of such a switch would mean for you -By their own policy, you're expected to be there 98% of the time without incurring some kind of penalty and there's also a strange emphasis on attendance even over other things like number of calls taken, QA metrics, or amount of sales made. To add to this, if you have to take a day off for whatever reason and you didn't request PTO a week in advance, they will use your PTO if you have any saved up whether or not you actually want it to be used -Lastly, if you're the type to work hard and go above and beyond, this isn't the place or the role for you. You're better off doing everything you need to pass QA and literally NOTHING more

Cons

Micromanagement | Blatant Racism | Absolutely DISGUSTING & Predatory advertising | they recently laid off around 30-40 employees because the company is going bankrupt! But since I am a black male and they wanted to pick and choose who they paid a severance too. I was fired exactly 30 days prior to the mass layoffs with ZERO COMPENSATION | I had a 98% QA score that they graded every month | I had a 95+% Productivity grade and was receiving all bonuses and pay bumps allowed. I was told multiple times that “basically” I sounded to black on the phone | but the worst part was me sounding black was often labeled as me sounding disrespectful and or rude | EVEN THO I HAD A 92% Customer satisfaction score (customers leave reviews after every call) I was fired without an exit meeting or so much as a thank you for the last 10 months !! I’m fact I was simply locked out of my laptop and never heard from them again !!! I am absolutely stoked to see this company failing and hemorrhaging money ! I was fired with nearly perfect QA scores and others with failing scores were allowed to keep their jobs and collect severance once terminated 30 days after I was randomly fired for a call where two people were on speaker phone YELLING AND CURSING their hearts out ! If you are a person of color and you aren’t a pushover or absolutely desperate for work STAY AWAY !!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are deeply sorry to hear that you felt discriminated against and disrespected during your time with us. Allegations of discrimination, particularly racial bias, are extremely serious. These claims do not reflect the values or standards we uphold at 4Patriots, and we have established processes in place to investigate any such concerns thoroughly and objectively when they are brought forward through the appropriate channels. As with any business, tough decisions sometimes have to be made in response to operational challenges, and unfortunately, that includes workforce reductions. These decisions are made based on business needs, performance, and organizational priorities—never on personal or discriminatory grounds. While we cannot discuss individual personnel matters in a public forum, we can say that all employees are evaluated fairly and consistently. Severance decisions are handled in accordance with both internal policy and applicable employment laws. That said, we’re more than willing to continue this conversation privately. Please feel free to reach out directly to hr@4patriots.com. Thank you.
