Pros

You can work remotely and the working hours are flexible.

Cons

Gosh, where to start? -unnecessary meetings, there are 3-4 meetings weekly with the team and other teams that are just not worth your time, then they tell you off for not doing your job, if we had more time maybe people can get their job done. - Too much focus on KPI, you are working for a callcenter -MICRO MANAGEMENT, you have to sit through one two one meetings with your manager and report as if you are in a kinder garden, explain why you haven`t made any cold calls. BS! -Face value, if the management dont like you for standing up to them, they will bully you behind your back. Really petty environment. - Very unprofessional way of handling awkward situation. HR is useless - The training is adds no value, you just get your laptop and expect to understand everything, there are no proper trainings, some of the coworkers will show you on how to do certain things. -NO VALUE AT ALL
