Pros

I began working here at the start of the Covid pandemic, it was a remote position. They offer medical, dental, vision benefits as well as PST & PTO if you work full time. Your calls aren’t always monitored but a few of them will be randomly monitored throughout the month.

Cons

There wasn’t a raise in 2020 when Covid was at its peak and the Spanish queue was always busy. It took over a year to get a raise. You’re basically stuck to your headset taking calls because your time on the clock gets monitored down to every second. You have to be mentally strong and ready to take ANY type of call. You can get a call about a family that just lost a loved one and the next one can be a 911 call about someone asking for help for a child who’s having a seizure or it can be a call for someone who wants to place an OTC catalog order. Most supervisors are helpful but communication with them is very limited because they’re not given much time to be on the phone with you if you have to talk about an issue. Most communication has to be done through email.

Pros

In all of my professional career, the IT work here is the most laid back I have ever been with. Sadly, the fun was short-lived after we were sold out when the company was acquired by its rival Propio. They laid off the entire IT folks, dismantling this competition, retaining only less than ten from the whole organization. But it was a pleasure while it lasted. Too bad because their folks were easy going and management is mediocre but I learned a lot, plus it was what I needed in my situation, where I had to multitask working while taking care of personal matters, so it was a bonus.

Cons

Nothing really complicates my tenure here except some projects are really slow in implementation, lacking clear requirements and at some point I was shoved into something where there was really no discussion at all about a project and you just have to dig into it but I have experience so it was no sweat for me at all. There was also a point where I heard a lie about a project being complete but when I started working on it I just realized it was not even started at all and the other is not even deployed or existing so there you go I just had to keep silent and work on completing it. Plus Propio conned us by giving us false hope into thinking we get severance pay but it is not really severance pay instead they just tapped into the our state unemployment benefit and made it look like it is a severance pay. Unemployment benefit is not severance pay.
