Pros

Decent money Don't need your own clients

Cons

I was frequently overbooked and expected to complete services in rushed timeframes. Management prioritized volume over service standards and often expressed surprise when clients were dissatisfied at the hack jobs we were doing. At the same time, there was noticeable favoritism.

Bullying

Pros

I was happy there, loved the concept.

Cons

I cried about being bullied by a new hire. My voice went unheard and ignored as I tried reaching out to my Supervisor. One day I was told to express my feelings in a meeting. I was sick and my voice wasn’t there. I got yelled at by the manager for looking at a colleague and told to leave. Like get out, as I was leaving the door was looked and I was crying, I turned back as I was trying to leave out the door and told them that I worked hard for the company with a hand gesture but there was no audio. Needless to say I kept complaining about the bullying so eventually they used the video against me. I loved it there but I was done so wrong. Policy should have heard my voice and complaint of the bullying but it didn’t and failed me.
