Pros

Monday through Friday normal 8 to 5 but hours can vary depending on your position. There are a lot of good-hearted individuals just getting through the work day like you that make it bearable.

Cons

Let us begin: - Pay sucks for the amount of work that is demanded. You see many great people going above and beyond without any recognition whatsoever and then you see people who contribute very little good, receive recognition the one time they do something right. -Customer Service Manager is subpar at best. The company hired someone simply to keep the seat warm with no other expectations. His assistant and department does everything for him. - You can expect to be talked to like a brainless child when you need help from the Boss Lady. - Sink or Swim training is one factor of high turnover rate. Trainer is brand new and doesn't know much about the company or the policies and procedures. *floaties not provided - No change in sight. -Human Resources is BFF with management which should never happen in a real corporate setting. - The company as a whole needs to run like a "big boy" company instead of running like a mom and pop shop that can't seem to get their books in order.

Pros

- They deposit my paycheck on time. - PTO and Benefits are above average

Cons

- NEPOTISM. Every head of department is some how related to each other. - Middle Management is worthless. 10 Customer Service managers and I still couldn't find someone to help me with something. - Micromanaging. You're suppose to hit a 50 call minimum, but they forget that these calls can take up to 15-20 mins. Impossible. Youngevity rather CS give poor service in 5 minutes than actually helping a customer and build a ongoing relationship with them (its even a "relationship" marketing company). - Zero training. Literally nothing. Then when you fail you QA test they want to act like they didn't expect that to happen. - Upper management has a problem of talking down to employees as if they are children. - Company seems financially unstable. Do a little research and check out their current stock price.

Pros

My colleagues in my immediate department were great. Free product, and discounted product.

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE. I worked here for WAY TOO LONG. If you like emotional abuse at the hands of an over-powered and totally unqualified member of the company that HAPPENS to be related to the owner, then this is the job for you! You're trapped in an endless loop of idiotic decisions that are implemented purely on a whim, and then you are punished if you do not mold to those ideals RIGHT AWAY. The department heads are besties with HR and can get away with so much crap that is BARELY legal. How FUN. Every day you're doing your job as best you can, and waiting for the monster above you to decide to have a bad day and take it out on you. It absolutely felt like being in an a domestic violence situation, where you are at their mercy and they act like you are lucky to be there so you can put up with what we decide to do. I felt like a battered spouse. You do something good? They will take that and find every FLAW to counteract it. They will not listen to what needs improvement, they will keep idiots around only to keep up appearances and friendships. The new website is an absolute disaster, yet the person responsible is still being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for it, and still has a job! You are offered a raise, great, but then you are also forced to do more work. You are not given a raise based on your performance, you are offered the raise and then you are made to do extra work to 'earn' that raise. Low pay for high amount of work expectation. Also they will not hire when they need to, and expect sups and managers to take calls while also assisting agents. Um, hello? That is how QA and efficiency goes down. Not to mention morale. I think I've said enough.
