Pros

Flexibility Fairly easy job Good for students/stay at home moms/a second job

Cons

As of late, GuildQuality has not been the same. With their new system, they expect their seniors to attain impossible statistics. The statistic expectations were clearly made by someone who does not actually survey, or understand what it is like surveying in their new system. The new system is riddled with bugs and defects, which is to be expected. However, how do you expect your employees to attain these stats when your system is still so heavily flawed? Many homeowners are not willing to take our surveys now, for numerous reasons. First, the information needed is not always uploaded for the surveyor. You are calling to ask for a "homeowner" and may not even have their name. This is embarrassing as a surveyor and it is really killing the credibility of the company. You are also calling people who had work done 1+ year(s) ago, so most are not interested, don't remember their experience, or don't even recall who the company is. Most numbers are disconnected, or not in service. When you do reach someone, you are almost always hung up on. This was not the case in our previous system. The system is so flawed that we had to open a page just for the system mistakes. Your pay is based on the hours you work vs the calls you are able to make. It is hard to make the calls expected because you spend a lot of time trying to get information to be able to make the call, much less get someone to take the survey for a service they most likely don't remember. The previous system is still open, but not for the people who have been here over a year. We have been assigned projects most days, which also kills your statistics. Only one person in the entire company has been able to reach that goal so far, which just so happens to be the main supervisor's best friend. The other supervisor is notorious for not giving anyone a "perfect score" rating, which is also a new requirement for the highest pay scale attainable. The third supervisor we had, which was the best in my opinion, quit with absolutely no notice or reason as to why, and she had been there the longest. If one of your own supervisors is willing to quit so suddenly there is obviously an issue. Recently, we voted on whether we would rather up our minimum hours or be required to work one Saturday a month. We voted and chose to work one Saturday a month. Not even a full month into this new requirement, they upped our minimum hours anyway. So, we voted on which we would rather have and we're stuck with both requirements anyway. Why ask your employees opinion when you obviously have no regard for that opinion? There has also been 0% consistency recently. When asking a question on our server one person may give you one answer, but someone else will give you a different answer. The information is not being stored anymore, so if you miss something you just miss it. You cannot go back to review it as before. It almost seems as if the information is being deleted for whatever reason. All of our new employees are not receiving the same thorough training that we were receiving previously. Most new hires have absolutely no idea what they are doing and it is very obvious due to the questions they are asking on our server. Whoever is training our new employees is very heavily failing them, thus setting them up for failure in the company.

Thank you for sharing your review. We're always striving to improve, so your feedback is helpful. With regard to our new survey platform, we recognize that we have work ahead of us to bring it up to our standards. With this in mind, we've asked only our most senior Customer Experience Reps to vet the system and ensure that we're discovering all flaws before rolling out the program to those who are less experienced. Though this can be a difficult process, we're confident that the final product will be far easier to work in and improve the overall experience of the entire team. We're grateful for your contribution and are steadfastly working to ensure our productivity requirements are appropriate. Note: our productivity requirements were updated last week following an analysis of all stats over a three month period of time, and feedback provided by the team. Our employee's happiness is very important to us, as is consistently improving our system, and providing an exceptional experience for our members (clients) and homeowners. While we understand change can be difficult, we do sincerely appreciate your feedback and will work to improve.

Pros

Working from home, dogs allowed in office, generally really cool, nice, and intelligent coworkers who have good souls and an altruistic attitude.

Cons

This company will work you to the bone - beware. If you think your job entails what they tell you up front, be prepared to take on at least 3 times that much, and then some. Training is incredibly brief with no real regiment, and then you are thrown into the fire pit with a sink or swim mentality. They don’t track vacation, so they also can’t track overtime you work trying to keep up with ridiculous demand/side projects/so many things that should be outside of your scope. And here’s where it really gets juicy - I was there for just shy of two years, given two raises during that time, never had disciplinary action taken against me and was commended for my excellent and thorough work routinely. I was let go abruptly after an incredibly informal lunch meeting with my manager, letting me know that my ADD personality didn’t seem to be a good fit, and provided a haphazardly composed list of personality-related action items for me to fix. Was told I had the weekend to come up with ideas/a game plan on my own accord, but if I came up with nothing that would be fine, and we would work through it together. They let me work the entire day the following Monday, before informing me my employment would be separated because I didn’t come up with a thorough enough action plan. Incredibly back handed, beyond shady - I considered this company my family and felt totally betrayed. Life lesson learned.

Pros

we get to work at home and make our schedules

Cons

they moved a bunch of surveyers to supervisors. worst mistake ever! most unprofessional and immature people i ever worked with. i gave it a month and left after they did it. the only good peple have gone now. the only ones left are so rude. we are not given any guidance, just talked down to and reprimanded if we mess up. i stopped asking questions because they are so rude. i stopped trying.
