Pros

Pay on time and you have the ability to pick up additional shifts on a first come basis.

Cons

Phone scripts can be cumbersome and lengthy. Not the best feeling to be made to ask every question and tri-level when dealing with people who are either sick or running late. Callers can be very unkind. If scripts were more basic it would help speed up the process. Also, if you are working part time there are set shifts, and you must work at least one weekend day of the week. So, if you are looking for a parttime job while still maintaining a full-time job you might want to keep this in mind as you will be working 6 days a week. Not very part time in my book.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad you have been with us for more than two years. We are proud to offer a variety of shift types that help benefit our team members with their various employment needs. It is apparent that you take your role seriously and have feedback on how we can make it more enjoyable. We understand that navigating the calls scripts can feel challenging at times, especially in sensitive situations. Please remember that you have the ability to submit feedback directly through the agent scripting tool to flag areas that may benefit from adjustment or improvement. As part of our front line we know that your interactions with our clients customers are of the utmost importance. While there may be a specific reason that the script is designed the way it is, your insights are valuable and help us to continue refining processes to better support both employee and callers. If you would like to discuss this further we encourage you to submit these findings or connect directly with your team leader. We appreciate your ongoing commitment and dedication.

Pros

Good Pay - IF you have perfect attendance. I'm sorry but there are no other pros.

Cons

In my 40+ years of working, this is the MOST micromanaged company I have ever worked for. Cameras watching your every move (there's even a camera in the breakroom watching you), attendance policy leaves ZERO room for error. I quit eating my lunch early to make sure I clock in on time to NOT LOSE my attendance bonus. Calls come in back to back to back leaving you little to no time to decompress if you get a rude caller or emotionally difficult situation; yes you can pause the calls but that goes against your metrics and can get you written up. This company has a HIGH turnover rate, mainly due to the micromanaging and being treated like a robot. I witnessed a LOT of great worker give up and quit because of the constant monitoring by supervisors and management. Once person was given a "final warning" because his/her cellphone was caught on camera AFTER HOURS in a closed call center. One can understand the no cell phone on the floor policy but this is after hours when it's really none of their damned business; especially when this particular location was closed for the night and no sensitive information was visible ANYWHERE. Another employee was written up for simply taking food from the call center when they were told they could (this was from an employee event that occurred earlier and that employee wasn't there during the time and was told they could take something home) and it was seen on camera by corporate monitoring the video. Part-time employees cannot accrue vacation time making difficult to take time off and do anything. This is especially difficult for those also working a fulltime job (like myself) who travel for vacations. I could think of quite a few more things but IMHO, this company doesn't care and would not be receptive to changes that might make things better for employees.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We recognize that our workplace is not the right fit for everyone. As a provider entrusted with handling sensitive customer information across a variety of industries, we maintain strict security, privacy, and compliance standards. Our operations are governed by requirements related to HIPAA, PCI, HI-TRUST and other client specific obligations, which included controlled work environments, monitoring practices, attendance expectations, and policies regarding personal devices in operational areas. Many of the practices referenced in your review are designed to protect customer information, support regulatory compliance, and ensure consistent service delivery for our clients. While these standards can feel structured compared to some workplaces, they are necessary components of operating in a highly regulated environment. We also understand that call center work can be demanding. For that reason, we continually review employee feedback, operational processes, and wellness initiatives to support our teams while maintaining the standards our clients expect. While your review references alleged disciplinary matters involving other individuals, we do not discuss, confirm, or comment on the employment circumstances, performance management, or corrective actions of any current or former employee. Respecting employee privacy and confidentially is important to us, even when details are shared publically. We are committed to recognizing and supporting employees through a variety of programs, events, and initiatives designed to celebrate their contributions and foster a positive workplace culture. At the same time, we must balance employee experience with our obligations to clients, regulators and the industries we serve. We also believe transparency is important. Compensation, benefits, scheduling expectations, and eligibility requirements are communicated during the hiring process and are outlined in our employee policies so that candidates can make informed decisions about whether the role aligns with their needs. We appreciate all employee feedback and continuously evaluate our practices to ensure we maintain a workplace that balances accountability, compliance, customer service and employee support.
