      Not a good time

      Pros

      Work from home Great Benefits Supportive Management

      Cons

      The pay is really not worth the amount of emotional stress you have to endure. You are essentially the callers financial advisor, therapist or punching bag. They also constantly pitch upward mobility into management, but there are not enough available positions. They keep track of every minute of your down time (bathroom breaks, lunch, clock in and out). You are quite literally chained to your desk because your bonus relies on the amount of time worked and taking calls. You are expected to get to the point where you are taking ~ 100 calls a day. Really an insane experience to work there during the pandemic.

      Pros

      With work at home, you get the benefit of not having to drive to work. I like working with my dog.

      Cons

      Upper management has NO concern/care for lower level employees. They say they care about the customer, but they don't. Micro managed, almost to the second. Don't talk too long or too short, don't go into after call, don't go over your break by a minute, all things to get you on a report. Company has gone from almost 500 people, to just over 100. It won't be there too much longer.
