MY WORST JOB EVER

Pros

Decent pay, good for recent graduates seeking experience.. short term.

Cons

I worked there for only four months and could not take it any longer. They offer NO SICK DAYS for a stressful position but you only find that out during your orientation. Managers are poorly trained, they will lie on you to protect themselves and are not supportive. You work 8 1/2 to 10 1/2 hour shifts with only a 30min break. Your shift is timed for every moment you work, answering stressful calls, sitting in one position. If a caller or company complains about how u handle a call, Workplace Options will write you up... even if you were never changed or made aware. The process for handling calls, changes almost every day! They make the most simple process very very complicated. They only communicate changes via emails and there are hundreds of emails daily but you are supposed to read them all while being timed and measured for the amount of calls that you take! The place functions like a counseling workhouse... most of the staff is miserable. There is also some racism, while they support alternative lifestyles they have refused to hire black males and offered new white hires better positions, shifts and opportunities.

Pros

Great product - they offer services that help people with work-life balance. They offer pretty decent benefits.

Cons

Poorly trained management. Little to no development. Inadequate job security (people are frequently and easily let go for ridiculous reasons). I saw some very shady business practices while I was there. Many of the managers are inexperienced and immature.

Pros

decent entry level salary & work experience for recent college grads easy work, easy job to get (they fire constantly so there are always openings) ability to bond w/ good people who figure out they are under the direction of the dishonest good life lessons about how things are not always as they appear

Cons

discovering that the business model is actually based on duping providers & members being "led" by individuals w/ no professional management experience who are promoted because they party with others in management or are willing to tow the party line very short lunch breaks that are timed sexist approach to hiring, promoting, relating having to smile & pretend that things are ok when anyone with a conscience and a backbone knows they're not chronic, system-wide, betrayal of bonuses...putting caps on bonuses so they don't have to pay high-performing employees, unpaid bonuses, "miscalculated" bonuses, etc., having to listen to providers crying with frustration that they haven't been paid seeing good, smart, motivated employees being worked to the point of exhaustion In general, seeing a potential great offering to members & providers being reduced to its lowest common denominator
