Pros

It's easy money once you get into the swing of things. Dealing with angry callers can be rough, but most of them aren't that bad. It feels really really good to help people, and you get to meet some awesome people. Training was okay, but be prepared to do some of your own research on your own time. It looks good on your resume. Decent worklife balance. Benefits aren't bad.

Cons

BED BUGS. There were bedbugs at the Raleigh location when I worked there (early 2018-mid 2018), and I wouldn't be surprised if they are still there. BE WARNED. Rules, rules, rules. So many rules to follow. No phones. No paper or pens. No hats. No food. Wanna take a bathroom break? Gotta put yourself into break-aux and use up your 15-30 mins a day. No decorations on your desk. No using the notepad on the computer to take notes as you listen to calls. Everything is monitored. No solitaire. Cameras everywhere. It's very "big brother" in there. You're (quite literally) tethered to a desk and expected to sit there for hours without moving. There's no windows, only artificial lighting. It's suffocating and gets depressing pretty quick. If you're the kind of person that doesn't like the idea of a desk-job, stay away. On top of that, they will change your schedule without warning any time they want. Just got comfy with your schedule? Too bad, it's different now. Oh, you had your schedule changed two weeks ago? Here's another one. Get used to it. But not for long because we'll probably change it again in another month. That happened a lot. Poor communication with upper-management.

Pros

Paid on time, provided equipment, decent benefits from day one, nice co-workers

Cons

Sweatshop mentality of the supervisors, threats of demotion/termination for medical leave, random layoffs when calls didn't justify hours, with those same hours shifted to supervisors to keep them active. Unable to print paystubs, had to request everything through a supervisor, and provide copious amounts of private information to have the request honored. Corrosive environment - I left as soon as I got another offer, gave 24 hours notice (and I've never, ever done that before). Unless you're on the verge of homelessness or starvation, avoid at all costs.
