Pros

Working from home. Health Benefits (though expensive for the low pay) Vacation Time (though can't even afford disneyland)

Cons

* Way below market pay. * Treated like garbage by upper management. * Treated like garbage by customers that resent owning computers. * Company touts North American phone personnel but is now moving many more operations to India including some phone support. * CEO Always makes excuses to not give raises even now that the company is profitable (at least he thanked us for making it possible). * Raises and bonuses were promised when the company started making a profit but CEO turned back on that. * No incentive for call center employees to remain with the company long term. Beware of empty promises and lies by upper management. * Quality of service and customer complaints continue to get worse due to new policies designed to reduce the amount of time spent on repairs. * Give your knowledge, expertise, life and time but get very little in return.

Pros

When the recession was hitting us hard it was nice to have a job. Pay as a PTE/SE tech was low compared to other places but higher than most entry level jobs with no degree. Mediocre benefits. Work from home.

Cons

-Company keeps placing burden of profit on their workforce unfairly. -Cut shift differential pay. -Mandatory overtime. -Have shift bids which can put you on a schedule that you hate for 6 months. -After having gone through the process for a horrible schedule, they may change it to fit their needs at a moment's notice. -Little opportunity for advancement despite their contrary claims. -Changed stance from giving raises when company is more profitable to give raises never. -Constant esoteric policy changes that no one is ever clear on, even the people who make these changes. -High turn over so you are always fixing new people's mistakes. -Very obvious and low morale among coworkers. -Dubious sales policies that makes the customers pay for things they may or may not have to which makes you feel complicit. -Dealing with outsourced departments which are staffed with some of the most incompetent people ever to touch a headset. -While there are some really great people there to have suffering along side you, a very large portion of your coworkers have the emotional intelligence of a six year old. It is like reading flame wars and trolls all day, but this is daily dialogue. -Even your direct supervisor indicates everything is chaotic and pretty all around horrible for us but just sort of shrugs his shoulders. -Receive emails from corporate executives that basically berate and devalue their workforce and basically tell them, 'well there are worse places to work for, by the way we are cutting your pay'

Pros

- Work from home. Read: work in your underpants. You're never on a camera. - Decent pay ($11 for least skilled, $13.50 for skilled) - 10 total Floating Holiday/PTO days first year - Challenging work, about 5% of the time. Drift on autopilot the rest of the time. - Almost no one is ever fired from Work From Home positions, unless they get abusive or NSFW in a chat - Due to low expectations, the least technical knowledge will net you top performer capability - System is ridiculously easy to "game", resulting in positive metrics and scoring with the least bit of effort

Cons

- Supervisory staff is generally completely unaware of policies/procedures/expectations and have absolutely zero accountability in any way. These are seriously some of the least intelligent, least informed human beings I have ever worked with. There are one or two shining stars, but for the most part the supervisory staff here would make a peatbog look intelligent - Management holds Supervisory staff to remarkably low standards and do not seem to understand why performance never seems to improve - CEO is clearly in it for the money and nothing else - Basically like every other job with a soul-sucking corporation whose clientele are all soul-sucking corporations. Expect to be expected to follow mindless policies and procedures endlessly.
