Pros

Good for newbies and currently no experience

Cons

There are a lot of complaints from the clients and employees that extra allowances given by the clients for their employees are being pocketed at HR discretion. It happened around 2018-2021. It was discovered when a client directly asked one of his outsourced employee within the company and the staff confessed that they never received any extra allowances from the Officebeacon itself. The salary is low. There are also some instances where they skip some months of paying the employee's government contributions. They charged from our salary, but sometimes it doesn't reflect on the governments website.

Pros

The South Africa team is very nice.

Cons

Hired and given no training for 3 months. Was promised accounts every week and never got them. The other new person had the same experience. Owner is married to the CEO and blinded by love, can't see she's doing an awful job. No one enjoys working for her. She's very offish and hard to read. You can tell she isn't listening when you talk, which is why she will repeat questions and act surprised about things you've already told her numerous times. There is no consistency amongst the different locations (India, South Africa, Mexico, Philippines). Team members you are supposed to shadow won't help you. They gatekeep things as if you're trying to take their job. Company lies about their "revolutionary" new CRM Flowz but it doesn't work. We can't even use it internally. Company oversells the virtual assistants they hire and will lie to customers faces to make a sale. Just a complete hot mess.
