Pros

We work in a nice building.

Cons

Hmm where do I start... - 1st and foremost, there is ABSOLUTELY NO work life balance. I work every weekend and when it’s not a weekend, I’m working 2-10pm. I have children and no family in my city. I am forced to pay for a babysitter which gets really expensive + daycare on weekdays which is not always ideal since I can’t even pick my own kids up because of these ridiculous schedules. And no matter how much you speak up about it, management gives you excuses from left and right. They keep saying they care about you and are there for you because with you, they wouldn’t have a job...blah blah. Cmon guys, you do not care about your employees, at all! - there are constantly fundraisers, food sales, bake sales, raffles etc. Our pockets are constantly being emptied and drained with no return. - micromanaged. We are hounded on everything, quality, sales, surveys etc. If we perfect two things, it needs to be three, if not three then four. There’s only so much an actual human being can do. Your expectations of agents and their performance is totally you realistic!

Pros

Work from home and create your own schedule. Paid training. There is an option for therapy through the company.

Cons

They are hiring, but there aren't enough tasks to make the minimum of 10 hours a week. There are no raises and no promotions. They take a long time to respond to emails, if they respond at all. The only benefit is a 401 (k). $14 is the pay rate, and one can only work 20 hours a week, if there are enough tasks. The past couple of exams for training set one up to fail them. I have been doing this job long enough to know this. They constantly threaten your job, which really affects morale and confidence. There used to be bonuses, but they haven't done them in a long time. There were times we were given permission to work up to 35 hours for the week, but again, it has been a long time. Last one, they didn't have enough tasks to allow for workers to get to 25+. They also offered stock options, but they ended that as well. They made a major mistake on my end and threatened me unless I complied. Eventually got an email that they were wrong, but they didn't apologize. I saw they were hiring freelancers with a maximum of 25 hours a week. I wrote to management and was told the rest of us were only staying at 20. I am currently seeking other employment. There are other companies that do the same work with higher pay and actual benefits. This was once a good job, but once Telus took over, it has been downhill. I would not recommend this company anymore. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a sinking ship.
