Pros

Hours of operation are decent for a retail business.

Cons

Poor communications between DDO and center manager. The "field calls" are not explained to a new hire and appear dangerous. Company places too much emphasis on collection calls as their only source of income from a negative customer base. I was brought in, unable to complete my training without persona distractions from the manager and was forced to listen to personal problems of this person for 10 hours a day. DDO was told that I was unable to learn the simple day-to-day operations when it appeared the manager was incompetant at training! Entire day was spent "worrying" about sales numbers and how to "outsmart" the upper management so they wouldn't see what was truly going on there. Frustrating and horrific way to manage people!

Thank you for sharing your training experience. It is troubling to hear your training schedule was interrupted. Our precedent is to spend a few weeks on training and educating our team members on the industry and our products. Then, we allow them to perform center duties.

Pros

Great training and leadership courses online. Easy job. Easy to promote if you put in the effort and not just go for a paycheck. Bonuses are a plus

Cons

You mostly work by your self. Some zoom meeting which makes it boring.
