If you love helping people and talking on the phone, then this still might not be the right job for you,
Pros
If you work fast and are able to assist customers in solving their technical issues for whichever company you have been subcontracted to work for by The Answer Group (TAG) then there are many opportunities to move up and fast. The working environment is very tense due to the high volume of incoming calls and the rush to fix their problems as soon as possible but your co-workers will be some of the nicest people you can meet and most likely in the same position as yourself working hard to earn a check and make it ahead in life.
Cons
The High volume of calls. Problems don't stop and the calls don't stop either. Dealing with irate and irrational people outside of the workforce causes enough stress even when you have the option to leave but having to withstand these attitudes on the phone while trying to help customers is an entirely band new level of tolerance to be gained. The work hours are also not the usual 9-5 Mon. - Fri. but rather 3 day 12 hour shifts on either side of the week. Scheduling which for the most part unless can be worked out for you is done by the luck of draw. Upper management is virtually untraceable and hard to find. Instead you will most interact with team leader's of the subset group you and fellow employees will enter to handle the incoming issue calls. These team leaders may or may not be great people but their salaries depend on the success or failures of their units so prepare to be pushed to the limit.
