Pros

Holiday pay if you're hired in. Paid time off as well, but it takes 3 pay checks (a month and a half to get a single day off).

Cons

Some rude supervisors. They will intentionally ignore you, start a conversation with another person while your speaking to them, or talk down to you like you're incapable of thinking. Stealing time. Check your hours daily! The office manager has a habit. FYI, you must make up time if they're system issues and they happen often. Power hours. If customer satisfaction is low or the call volume is high, forget about taking a break. You must clock out. 24-minute break per 8-hour shift. Lack of rewards. It varies from time to time, but most of the time you either get nothing or one piece of candy. Time management. They will log you out even if you're using the correct auxiliaries, but think you're in there too long. Shouting announcements while you're on the phone. Filthy working conditions. Some coworkers are less than clean. You get paid $10 an hour to do a lot of work. High turnover rate, they're always hiring.

Pros

The training schedule and anticipated work hours were very convenient and aligned well with my availability. The onboarding process initially seemed organized, and I appreciated the opportunity to start quickly.

Cons

There was a lack of clarity from the beginning. During the interview, I was assessed on chat support, but training was strictly voice-based. This shift in expectations was confusing. Communication and expectations were not clearly aligned between the hiring process and training. There appeared to be little flexibility or understanding when unforeseen circumstances occurred. On Easter Sunday, while in training, I lost power at 1:48 PM due to circumstances outside of my control. Within a short time frame—by 3:07 PM—and despite a 30-minute lunch break during that period, I received a call informing me that I was being let go from the contract. There was no opportunity given to explain, recover, or rejoin training once power was restored. The decision felt rushed and lacked empathy or consideration for real-life situations that can arise in a work-from-home environment.
