Lots of potential, hard to succeed

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at LiveOps full-time

ProsInteresting opportunities in the market. Contact center is changing. LiveOps has a proven set of technologies and people. Opportunities for growth if you can make an impact.

ConsUnclear strategy from the top. Management team all seems like ex-Sybase people now. CEO lives in another city. Trying to succeed in too many things at the same time. Lots of people leaving, lots of people coming in.

Advice to Senior ManagementFocus. Reward people who actually perform. Better accountability for senior staff. Get in touch with actual customers.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Unethical procedures

Independent Agent (Former Employee)

I worked at LiveOps as a contractor

ProsYou will get paid for your work. You make your own hours and the schedule requirements are flexible.

ConsLiveops is not a reliable "job." They are intended to use as additional income only. They will terminate your contract and never give you proof as to why. They terminated my contract once because they claim I never renewed my contract, which was a lie. They also claimed that I committed a violation that NEVER happened. This company will flat out make up reasons to terminate your contract and never respond to your messages or concerns. My experience with them was the most ridiculous work-related situation I have ever encountered. My advice is: If you work for them, make all the money you can, but NEVER get too comfortable and always keep other jobs or sources of income. You can't build a solid house on a shaky foundation.

Advice to Senior ManagementHave a conscious. Start doing the right thing. Do not terminate an agent's contract without providing proof of wrong doing. Have better communication where you can actually speak to a human instead of emails that do not get responded to.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Great company-

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at LiveOps full-time

ProsManagement that doesn't help employees, turns people away when looking for assistance. If you ask questions, the management wont help. When questioned about needing work, there is no trust.

ConsGreat concept, but does not listen to ideas that will help improve the company.

Horrible Business

LiveOps Contractor (Former Employee)
San Antonio, TX (US)

I worked at LiveOps as a contractor for more than a year

ProsNone. They are the worst place to contract ever.

ConsThey will boot you for no reason and never give proof.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet it together. Prove why you are dismissing contractors and give them an opportunity to correct whatever you are dismissing them for. Or at least answer their post boxes when they ask why they were termed.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Love It

Customer Service Representative (Current Employee)
Dallas, TX (US)

I have been working at LiveOps part-time for less than a year

ProsIt allows me to work at home, with a flexible schedule.
The pay is good if you get calls for the whole 30 minutes you work.

ConsThe schedules allow 30 minute increments, and is hard to get if you're not on the scheduler by a certain time each week.
You have to upsell many many products for each call.
You are paid per minute on calls, not per hour of work time.

Read between the lines on the 5 star reviews

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at LiveOps

Pros...That I don't work there anymore and know that I will never work a job again that is as bad as this one.

ConsDisorganized management, cruel management, work-life balance rigged towards management, call-center people get nothing for sitting on their pc's waiting for a call...

Advice to Senior ManagementGo away. Go away and quit subverting American labor laws.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
