Pros

Work from home. For the most part it’s not scripted but saying the same 10sec intro gets old real fast.

Cons

Fake positive outlook during training to get you excited but you don’t learn everything you should or the true nature of the customers (they make everyone seem sooo nice). Shift bids are bogus. Being hired on the spot should’ve been a red flag. Say it with me… Micro Managers!!! Too many grading percentages that create pressure while being expected to give genuine human empathy in 6.5 minutes (“the perfect call”). You get 10secs to gather yourself if you’ve had a tough call. VTO hogs and WFM favoritism. There may as well be part time positions given how much VTO is offered. Phones get busy when WFM gives out too much VTO. Team and manager changes seemingly every other month. Expected to ask for permission to go to the bathroom when the crappy system goes down and “black status” happens, which is often. Company cares more about pushing great service than the mental well being of their pit underpaid core agents. HR takes too long to respond. Seems like you need an accommodation claim for every little thing and the third party that handles those take months to complete and are hard to keep in touch with. They don’t even have the final say, Chewy does. Toxic positivity in email and Slack. Lazy supervisors who don’t wanna take your calls. Too many restrictions on calling customers back to offer TOP NOTCH service. Ha!

Pros

Pet friendly office. Flexible schedule.

Cons

*Toxic culture, like amzn, because of hiring so many x-amzn people. They burnout everyone. *Inflated ego runs rampant. Elitist attitudes. Managers create us-them environment, they call team members “workers” and “producers” *Chaos everywhere. No focus. keep hiring people to fix things and nothing gets fixed. *Everyone is in it for themselves. It’s a numbers game - sell yourself and suck up to them . It doesn’t matter what you accomplish. *Promotions and transfers only for the inner circle. Play their games and think and talk and act like them - they will let you in the club. *No diversity of thought or opinion or ideas. Everyone thinks talks and acts the same, like amzn. *Bad managers, ineffective and poorly designed business processes, Bad HR team and bad HR process, Top heavy orgs with too many chiefs - they over hired people and over-titled people. *NO Career growth, unless you're in the club *Pay and benefits are not competitive and keep changing downward.

Pros

Long leash, lots of opportunity. Loose rules.

Cons

Company attrition is ~50% annually. Expect to be Flying by the seat of your pants and your experience is totally down your manager. I switched managers 4 times (they kept quitting) in two years so I couldn’t control that part. The good managers keep seeing the red flags and leaving and we are left with managers that are incompetent and want to look busy rather than complete meaningful work.
