Pros

Work at Home (WAH) opportunities are wonderful, but to stay competitive and to keep top quality people, pay us appropriately. Consider paying commission on sales and/or excellent customer service surveys. There is no reward for excellence in sales nor service. The managers in the chat room are helpful and try to keep the shifts fun.

Cons

The pay is unbearably low for the stress of dealing with customers. Sales and service calls are combined and it would be helpful to have reps trained exclusively for sales and exclusively for customer support issues. The metrics and 'rules' are demeaning but that's the way management tries to keep control over Work at Home (WAH) reps.

Pros

Remote work and great coworkers

Cons

Extremely low pay for the amount of work and the type of calls that you have to deal with. Lots of mircomanaging. Unrealistic metrics. Lack of knowledge and competency from leadership because at no point should your workers know more than you about the job itself. No care for unforseen life circumstances that affect your ability to work. Very stressful and mentally exhausting which often leads to burnout. No recognition for hard work and meeting metric goals. Too hard to get PTO approved. Tech and internal systems are always breaking which affects your ability to do your job. No one is ever on the same page which often leads to being given incorrect information. No room for growth or opportunities to go into other roles. Benefits are not that great. Mid health insurance plans, no 401K match, no parental leave, and no internet reimbursements. They'll sell you a fairytale in training so BEWARE.
