Pros

Decent benefits and you can work a set schedule. It beats being unemployed. Anyone can get hired here, there’s no drug test or background checks, just know how to use a keyboard and you will figure the rest out.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. $13/hr and required to be actively taking calls for 96% of your day. This job causes a huge mental strain as there is absolutely no structure to the constant (and I mean that literally) flow of calls that come in. You pretend like you work for a bunch of different companies and deal with a lot of upset customers. You will work weekends and holidays (this is a 24/7/365 call center/answering service so don’t make plans for Christmas AND you don’t get paid more to work on holidays either). Most people will quit this job after seeing how bad it really is. You are expected to be a machine, not an employee. You will debate daily whether this stress is really worth it or not. I’m starting to see the answer, hence this review.

All employees get paid double time for every hour they work on a holiday. This environment is not for everyone. We are an inbound call center providing services to the business community. Our staff take one call at a time and are never rushed to get off the phone. I'm sorry this job was not a good fit for you. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

good physical working conditions; opportunity for advancement (if you stay, that is!)

Cons

Low pay, huge turnover (example: I was one of 5 full time employees hired and they only have one left out of 5 of us in less than a month of being hired and they brought in 7 temps to handle phone calls because they couldn't keep anyone) Even a manager told me they have over 50% turnaround! They're constantly hiring. Unrealistic expectations...you're required to use exact phrasing (it's called role play) and if you even ask a caller for example, for a phone number before you ask for their name, you get docked for it. (they review 5 calls each week per employee) Even if the call was exceptionally handled, professional, helpful you're still docked for it). It's ridiculous. Need an extra 10 minutes one day for a bathroom issue, anything? Forget it. Once again you're docked if you're not on the phones at least 96% of the day. Totally unrealistic. I've never worked for such a place before. I've worked for 2 other call centers and MAP is totally different...totally unrealistic...I'm very happy to be gone. I wouldn't recommend this place to work for anyone. Every job I've ever held except Map I've had marks of 4's and 5's on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being exceptional. I'm a good employee and not a quitter. Oh, and my last call center job before this one? Our department manager listed me (and marked on my yearly review) that I was in her top 3 employees she's ever managed in her 20 years. I had to quit because I had to relocate or I would still be there. So, I know a little bit about call centers and the work required.

Pros

Nothing positive to say since they bought us every thing has gone downhill.

Cons

Work/life balance no longer a consideration, literally everything that made up for what the job does to you has been stripped away.
