Pros

It's a work from home opportunity

Cons

There are MUCH BETTER work from home opportunities. This place will give you raises and bonuses until Q4 when their expense reports come in and then fire you for bogus reasons so they can save pennies on the dollar. They will NOT be loyal to you, as most of the previous management who have been fired for no reason can testify. You as an employee, can find several other work from home opportunities, that start at a much more competitive rate, a better benefits package, and for a better company, who actually care about you. Take it from me, I am a former employee, still working from home, making triple what this company fired me at to save them a dime. Save your time and money, apply somewhere else.

Windy City Call Center Response
7y
We are sorry to hear that your experience with our team was not pleasurable. We assure you, however, that no employee from our team has been terminated because of Q4 expense reports. If an employee is terminated it is for a violation of a company policy that puts our contracts at risk with our clients. We work hard with our agents to avoid this, but at times it is necessary because an individual continues to not comply with company rules or expectation even after coaching sessions, and verbal and written warnings. We are consistent with using a progressive model of discipline to ensure that we provide coaching before any termination. We do not and have never simply terminated an employee because our expenses were too high. Finally, our management team is the backbone of our company. There are times in which management transitions to new positions, but this is rare for our team. In fact, there has been relatively little change with our management because our managers are invested in the success of our team. We are a thriving business, and strive to create job opportunities for our most valued employees. We are firm believers in the model of promote from within. In fact, in the last three months we have created several new leadership positions, which resulted in the promotion of 7 our most seasoned call center representatives. This is just one example of our commitment to train and coach our team to success. We end with this, every response we give is open and honest. We recognize that there are times in which individuals are upset when writing a review, but must point out issues that are inconsistent or not in alignment with our policies or past practices. We stress that there has not be a high turnover in management as you have indicated. Nor have we recently, in our past or plan to do in the future simply terminated employment due to Q4 expense reports. In fact, none of our current, former or future agents would be privy to such information. We continue to invest in the best part of our company, our employees, and regret at times that despite that investment we are forced to separate an employee from a position. We stress, however, that if this occurs the employee was provided with the coaching, tools and support to improve, and is only let go after continued support has failed to produce the necessary improvement.
