Pros

Work flexibility, amex flex plan, benefits

Cons

Likely to get stuck with a late shift, salary is not comparable with the cost of living in Toronto, customers frequently treat you like garbage off of the street, no flexibility to move departments, pacesetter program should be based off of additional factors and not who makes the most money or is management's favorite

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
