Pros

The coworkers are friendly. You can wear almost anything you want to work on most days. Actual work day is flexible you choose between 8am-8pm and you can even do a four day workweek.

Cons

New hires do not get benefits for 90 days, no paid time off or paid holidays either. New Hires qualify for four days of PTO per year only. On the outbound program they want you to make at least 16 calls an hour to prospects in their database and 95% are not even eligible to make an appointment with. You will be making appointments for the American Express Sales Reps with multi million dollar companies and have to reach the decision makers - try getting a CFO or CEO of a $20 million dollar company on the phone. You do see sales numbers daily and know where you stand and the turnover rate is 75% -80% and only a handful of people make decent bonuses - most get fired for not making their numbers. Management is weak and does not care abou the employees at all. The actual offices are very dirty and they don't even have professional cleaners for the breakrooms - they ask the managers to do it. You have to bring in your own copy paper, pens, etc. as they only supply you with a wipe off board, a dry erase pen and an eraser for office supplies.

Pros

Lunch lasts for 1 hour. Some managers are nice. Compensation is not bad for a call center job.

Cons

Contradictory set of info provided during training compared to later on, and sometimes you get penalized for providing honest information that you aren't prohibited from giving out. There's about seven million rules that you are expected to follow, and many of them are dumb. Some managers are annoying/jerks. Management gets really frustrated that customers leave from conversations dissatisfied even though we are literally calling them as Collections Agents for a credit card company to tell them they are thousands of dollars in debt. If you get 2 Compliance fails they fire you (and Compliance fails aren't just for regulatory things the company can get sued for). Expected to follow regulations that do not even apply to our particular company. (Newsflash! HIPAA does not apply to credit card companies!). Now if you get 4 dissatisfaction surveys from customers they fire you. (Getting fired at this job is extremely easy! I nearly got fired when I was reluctant to take a transfer call I was NOT authorized to take and upper management said I wasn't being a "good teammate" because of my reluctance to take the call.) Dissatisfaction surverys are also ridiculously hard to dispute. Customers are extremely horrible, foul-mouthed, stupid, vindictive and nasty. You get like 2 hours of PTO per month, which is about 2 days out of the entire year. No holiday pay - they will just send you home with no pay on Christmas. People steal your lunch if you put it in the company fridge. There's an oppressive atmosphere of complete misery that hangs over the whole building. If the company decides to move on to a different call center, they call a townhall meeting the day that it happens without any advance notice to let all the call center agents that they are being furloughed or let go. Also, they have confirmed finding a bed bug problem in the building. Run, run away!
