Pros

The job itself was easy enough and decent paid for Romania. Base salary is low but lot of chance to double it with easy to reach bonuses such as getting positive surveys and placing orders for customers. No outbound calling or typical salesman stuff, just place the order if the customer doesn't want or if there's an issue. Work conditions were ok, and colleagues were by and large great.

Cons

Biggest issue is that it's hard to advance unless the team managers like you. I was at least 10 years older than many of them and with a family, so despite being top of the team for 11 months straight after I started on the project, kept getting passed over in favor of younger, more outgoing candidates for anything that was going. Sure I was making more than them since they don't get the bonuses, but it's not the point when you want to advance career wise. Eventually left when an agent that I consistently beat every month, sometimes doubling her results, got a coaching position ahead of me. Team managers are short sighted and mediocre because of this kind of policy. Only occasionally you can find a decent one that works hard and looks after your interests.

Pros

Great company and good employees

Cons

This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. They do not care about their employees here; to them, you are just another number. They get upset when you use your sick days, even though they are a legal right, and then retaliate against you by punishing you when you return to work. And be careful about filing a complaint with Human Resources because they are two-faced. Instead of helping you, it often ends up backfiring on you. That is why no one feels comfortable going to them. This company does not appreciate or value its employees unless you have connections or favoritism. Management, starting from the top, has no clear direction. Everything constantly changes, even when it is not the best option, simply because someone higher up decided it. The environment feels outdated and authoritarian, like something from another era. There is a lot of hypocrisy, resentment, and abuse of power.
