Pros

The only reason to work here is because you need a job immediately and cannot afford to look a little bit longer, or because you haven't worked enough other places to know that everywhere is not like this. Some of the people there are nice, though.

Cons

The pay is low, the job itself is awful, and benefits are withheld until you've been there for six months, but my biggest complaint is that employees are treated like children or criminals. You can get written up for being one minute late from a break. You aren't even trusted with access to company email, or the ability to take a payment. They act like they EXPECT you to try to steal company or customer information at any time. They even try to tell you you can't even use your phone in the bathroom because "someone might record you," as if a creep who was planning to illegally record someone while using the bathroom would care that it was against company policy. Training was mostly just sitting around doing nothing or getting fussed at for minutiae. But worst of all, once you are on the phones, good luck. There are not even enough chairs for all the people they've hired, and there is not remotely enough help and support to go around. If you do get someone to notice that you need help, they frequently give information that ends up being totally incorrect, or act like THEY don't know the answer either and wish you hadn't asked! This has happened MULTIPLE times in my short time at the company. I feel terrible for the customers that I KNOW I was telling the wrong thing to, but the person "helping" me was right over my shoulder, so I felt like I had to say what they were telling me to! Sometimes they even push back on helping you at all, even when you explain that you've already tried what they're telling you to do. It's just ridiculous. I am normally the kind of person who can just go with the flow and get through whatever happens at my job, but I pray every day that somewhere else I've applied to will call me back.

Pros

Work from home , convenient

Cons

The way they fire you for no reason; and than block you from emailing them, messaging them or anything without warning! I worked there for 2 years and I had asked to switch supervisors , because the new one I had was very rude and put down everyone. Well the week after I asked to be moved; shelve wrote me up 3 times in one week, which is cause for termination. One of the writeups was because she said I should have offered a customer an email at the end of the call! They are scandalous and I would not recommend to anyone to work for them. If the client: who’s name starts with an A and ends in with E… should not tolerate they way they are representing them!
