Pros

It's a great company to work for temporarily, during the holidays for extra cash. The pay was standard for part time work. The environment was welcoming with some employees. I learned a lot with this being my first call center job.

Cons

Distance from train station, lack of opportunity for growth

Hello! Thank you for submitting your feedback. We are happy to see you had a positive experience with us and could learn a lot from your time with us too. We look to really do our best to keep all our team members engaged, whether temporary or permanent. We do understand the temporary positions are limiting in the ability to advance as we can only keep so many year round team members. We are hoping to grow and expand our team in the future. We also are a 5 minute walk from the N/R train on 59th St in Brooklyn but do have the NYC ferry nearby, a parking lot, and a few bus lines close by. Thank you again for your time and effort!

Hello! Thanks for submitting your feedback. We are excited to have learned of your great experience with us and glad to hear you had such a great time. We pride ourselves on being our team's favorite place to work. While our seasonal roles do not have much potential for permanency, we do look to consider our team for rehiring in other seasons if available and interested. We also look to consider our seasonal team for possible lateral opportunities and really look to key in on a positive and rewarding experience for the team, even for just season. Thank you for your time and your kind words!

Pros

Great learning experience, and decent enough pay for what it is.

Cons

Graded on performance weekly, by different people, so their wants seems to conflict. You can receive a high score for one thing and then receive lower points for the same thing by someone else. It's unnecessary.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback on your time working as part of our Customer Service Exceptions team. We are glad to hear of the positive experience you had and that the compensation was fairly met. We do have a system of monitoring performance in our Customer Service team as we hire Customer Service Coaches and look to train them on this process of assuring quality in our conversations with the customers. Due to a high volume of team members, it may be a different coach is assessing your performance week by week. However, we make sure to train our Coaches as to what standards we look for and what consistency we wish to have in the conversations with our customer. There may be a slight variation at some points but our set up allows for a unique system of reviewing and assessing these conversations. We do thank you again for your feedback though and contributions.
