Pros

Great insurance benefits and benefits in general, for work from home.

Cons

They hire you, hype you up about growth opportunities and the path you’ll take, only to constantly change it and leave you stagnant. You’re trained initially, but not continuously, and put metrics pressure on you. ESPECIALLY the resolution metric, which is mostly based on how customers feel about the company and not the actual representative. I am overworked and feel under appreciated. They then added the UK line to our calls and never actually trained us on how to deal with those customers. I initially loved working here, but I feel like our wants, needs, and work life balance are overlooked. We used to brush up on training, but since they laid a ton of people off last year, we are overworked and not provided with many “continuing education” opportunities, which would help with metrics. Instead, we are asked to work, and also work overtime, lots of overtime. When I started working here I was told I would be in my position for only six months, however it’s going on three years. Also I was told I would take a certain path of training, but that also has changed. I’ve asked many times for opportunities to move to other departments, but those requests go ignored. I’m almost to my breaking point and this is very stressful.

Pros

Easy to move around within the company. As long as you befriend the manager and team leader, you'll be on their good side. The benefits are great and if you have health issues, the company can be accommodating, also, if you're planning a family the benefits are above average compared to other companies. Most positions are work from home so that's a plus in many ways.

Cons

On the other hand, reserved employees who prefer to focus on their work may struggle. Befriending your manager and team leader is crucial for success, as most positions are work-from-home, and video conferences/chat are the main ways to connect. Teammates are expected to be available throughout their shifts (except for breaks and lunch), while leaders have more flexibility for personal errands whether you're hourly or salary. This disparity in expectations felt unfair.

Pros

Amazing health/ employee benefits. Global company, many interactions across all borders. A lot of career opportunities.

Cons

eBay is notorious for the extremely low pay, unless you are working in higher management, or engineering, you will be paid subpar for the work you put in. Many times you are expected to do so much more than your job title, with no incentives. The culture in the company has greatly changed, for the worse- they are not employee centric at all anymore.
