Pros

There are absolutely no pros

Cons

Most of management is clueless about the issues customers are angry about and frankly they don’t care. Customers that spend more money on their card are treated better than others. The company is morally bankrupt. Employees are treated like indentured servants. No flexibility on schedules, PTO, etc. They even dictate when you can use your Paid Sick time ..they seem to think people can control or predict when they will be sick. Team leaders have no accountability…mine was always making a smoothie, getting coffee, cooking dinner , or dealing with children when I needed assistance. When she was available she was unable to grasp the issue I needed help with and I had to spend call handle time explaining it to her. The call review process is completely subjective and they can put you on counseling for trivial issues and then they take your incentive away. Huge waste of 8 years of my life.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
