Pros

$20/hr paid weekly and can work from home .

Cons

They make the job sound too great to be true . When interviewed 3 times , i was told you’ll be paid for 4-6 weeks of training , benefits immediately, total support and as soon as you complete training you’ll start earning high commissions. Well the training is ; say hi to all managers in the morning and spend 20 minutes doing ice breakers , then be separated into groups with people who are new like you and practice a script to cold call people and transfer them to agent. Do this 3000 yes 3Thousand times in a week and we will teach you what you’ll be doing in your department later and let you make commissio. I was hired to be a life insurance agent and instead was cold calling people who didn’t even recognize the company name and transfer them anywhere , dental , Medicare, life , auto. And the managers are in meetings all day and never respond when asked a question.

Pros

Annual bonus based on employee and company performance

Cons

Annual salary is way below national average, especially based on years of experience. They've talked about promoting all QA Analysts to QA Engineer for years (due to the fact we're all fulfilling QA Engineer roles but with the Analyst title and pay), but every year they had a new excuse as to why they couldn't promote everyone. The workload far outweighs the pay.
