Pros

You get paid money Employees will work to keep you in a project if it suddenly fails You can register to get time off (at times) You get to work at home

Cons

The rules for being a good employee change all the time, usually overnight The tools you use to work break almost all the time Asking for help is usually met with disdain (if it is provided at all) No way to advance up the company quickly (have to work for the company for 6+ months, then pray a full-time position falls in your lap) Help Desk agents are almost certain to download items to your computer for a quick fix and blame you for the decision to let them do it Getting help from other departments is always a 'pass the buck' situation where no one wants to take responsibility for any problem - especially if it's under their department description to solve. You get paid less for being in a temporary work position than being a part-time employee, causing major drop-off after temp season Woefully discourage to work overtime, since any time over the work limit is not counted - at all Takes far too much multi-tasking to do a minimum-wage job (e.g. have to talk to people on company chat while speaking to (usually irate or 'busy') customer while navigating 3-4 different programs which will most definitely either lag or stop working on a regular basis) Working at home feels like being in a prison of your own design - having callers yell at you while your in your home never feels good Team Leaders in chat will do nothing but

Pros

The opportunity to work remote is the only pro.

Cons

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was frustrating enough that I feel it’s important to share for others considering employment. The company suffers from major disorganization and a lack of consistent policies. Expectations frequently changed without clear communication, making it nearly impossible to feel confident in your performance or job security. Metrics were unrealistic and difficult to achieve, especially given how understaffed the team was. Instead of addressing staffing issues, the pressure was pushed onto employees. Compensation does not match the workload or expectations. Employees are underpaid for the level of performance demanded, and benefits are disappointing. One of the biggest concerns is that earned PTO, vacation time, and sick time are not paid out, which feels unfair and misleading. Management practices were also questionable. Employees were required to be on camera, which felt excessive and unnecessary for the type of work being performed. Overall, there was a lack of trust and professionalism in how employees were treated. This role could have been much better with proper organization, fair policies, and realistic expectations, but unfortunately, it fell far short.
