Pros

40 Hours guaranteed for full time Health, vision, and dental benefits Retirement and 401k options Hybrid schedule option

Cons

The callers are rude and hateful to agents and while you're told you don't have to allow that behavior, if we ended every call when people got unprofessional, nobody would ever take a call. If the client has paid for more hours than the team has worked (people leave all the time, the turnover rate is really high), they will force you to take a 30 minute lunch when upon hiring you're told you get a 1 hour lunch. Team leads are changing constantly so are the teams you are working with. Schedule changes happen with little notice and it's mandatory This place does not care about your mental health or physical health in the grand scheme of things. Policies and practices change so frequently no matter how much you train, there's going to be a change you forgot or missed that QA dings HARD for.

Pros

Loved the LXL management chain. Supportive, fun, progress-minded. The company as a whole was okay, but the department I was with made it amazing. Lots of opportunities to develop skills. Absolutely incredible visibility for diversity, which is celebrated and respected without hesitation.

Cons

Very high demand. Can be very challenging to learn how to balance work and breathing room without falling behind. Many other departments were quick to blame the LXL department in front of highly regarded stakeholders for failures that were not of our own. Pay also changes depending on the client you work with. My client was the highest paying client at the time I was employed. The LXLs working for the branch-off of work from my client were paid much more than I due to the intensity of the work. My pay was considered the cap for where I was, and getting a raise that was not just a few pennies was not going to happen. Moving up is possible but limited. Due to this company being a BPO, if the client no longer needs our work, we are liable to be laid off. Employees are not contracted, but TaskUs is contracted to the client. Layoffs are a possibility, be it near or far. I was laid off after 4 years and saw many waves of many sizes laid off while there.
