Pros

It was a job. I lasted 3 whole weeks before leaving. It was close to my home.

Cons

1. The facility was literally filthy: the break room and bathrooms were full of unemptied trash and disgustingly dirty. There was mold growing in the toilets. 2. We were not allowed to use the restroom unless a supervisor authorized it. When call volume was high, we couldn't go at all. I signed off once to pee after 2 hours of calls and was rudely reprimanded and threatened with firing. 3. I was the only white person in my training class of 25 people. I was forced to watch youtube episodes of "ghetto beat down" during class hours. The episodes they played all included white people being beat up by black people. I asked the instructor why this was appropriate and he just laughed. So did everyone else in the class, except one girl who also stated the videos did not belong in the classroom. She was a Christian and also found the videos deplorable. 4. The computer resources were garbage. The processors were old and slow and they would frequently lock up with multiple windows open. The monitors were so old you could barely read the print. When I addressed the issue to management, the supervisor laughed at me and said "make it work or leave" so I left. I couldn't read the screens to do my job.

Pros

For the most part, I have an open availability. I do however, like not having to work on Sundays. Some campains allow for a 1 hour lunch break. The hiring process was fairly easy. Your equipment is provided. There is opportunity for advancement. They are helpful when it comes to license renewal. Calls are back to back which for me seems to make time go faster. Flexibly as to when you want to take your lunch break. You have to opportunity to assist people without having to feel it was rushed. Off all major holidays.

Cons

Rushed training that may leave some questions unanswered. I feel like I had to figure things out on my own. Getting the assistance you need to help a client took longer than it should, especially when the client is on on hold, waiting for your response. At times some trainers seem to be unprepared for the roll they have taken. Calls are frequently monitored. Not much time between calls. It can take too long to transition from on campain to the next after the project has ended.
