Pros

you can work from home. Decent pay if performance is good Good benefits

Cons

he biggest issue here is the "bait-and-switch around the “non-sales” role messaging." You’re told during hiring that it’s not a sales job for the first 90 days. In reality, you’re expected to cross-sell almost immediately, and those numbers directly impact your performance review. They push products constantly, but only certain ones “count” toward your metrics — even if other products would genuinely help the member more. That makes it feel less member-focused and more quota-driven than advertised. The company markets itself as different from other call centers, but the structure feels exactly the same. You’re heavily micromanaged. Timers track your workflow down to the minute. After-call time, idle time, breaks — everything is monitored, and expectations are rigid. It creates a stressful environment where you’re watching the clock instead of focusing fully on helping the member. Scheduling is also demanding. Every pay period requires two Saturdays and two late-night shifts. Work-life balance is talked about, but the scheduling reality doesn’t reflect that.

Pros

Contractors are treated like employees (but without PTO, paid holidays, and benefits). Most days they try to appear willing to be who they say they want to be.

Cons

They know how to find talented people but underutilize their skills. The culture weakness due to an obvious blindness to active posturing by some decision makers. There are many discussions about organization improvement but ultimately this org lacks the knowledge and lack the knowledge (or power maybe?) of the actual ability to execute it. A lot of the energy seems only conceptual. The good news is they have the energy and resources to do things well if they can figure out how to redirect their energy on actually improving processes instead of creating the powerless appearance of progress. Instead they are overly focused on doing just enough to avoid getting hit with another audit failure. When people "leave" it seems to cause some feelings of insecurity among management so be careful when you look for better cultures/opportunities that you make them feel secure about the reasons you are leaving. Perhaps using the "it's me not you" cliche (or they will vilify you to feel better about their lack of effectiveness where it matters).
