Pros

The money and benefits are good

Cons

The treatment of employees could be much better. There is little empathy or consideration for employees. Production stadards have been continuously changing since april of 2020 on an almost bi-monthly basis demanding stricter or higher numbers, while reducing programs offered to struggling clients. The standards and quotas implemented are often unreasonable and not re-evaluated and rendered as such until morale has suffered, people are disciplined, and others find immoral/ unethical ways to cheat the system; this is a direct result of metrics being handed out by people who do not do the grunt work of the actual job.

Pros

Nice coworkers and Benefits were ok.

Cons

You feel like a machine, constantly making up excuses for company's internal screw ups. You get why people hate the company. Its hard to help callers when team leaders are busy helping or doing something else. Terrible Work life balance. You are micro-managed. Base pay should be higher for your so-called front-line of the company. I felt like a number on the score board for all to see. All your colleagues see if you suck or not so best not suck.
