Pros

If you need a virtual job I guess this is what you can get. This used to be a good company a few years ago and maybe it will revert back to that one day. Just didn't hold your breath

Cons

Bonus, incentive, revenue have all been capped at incredibly low amounts and made virtually impossible to receive. Metrics are micromanaged down to the second. The role is no longer white glove concierge/customer service, it's now rush to book travel, ignore everything else and hurry to the next call. There's no personalization as they've taken away any time for it. The company has moved backwards and treats customer facing agents like dirt in both compensation and moral Be aware that you will receive "consequence" emails multiple times a day and reminded multiple times a day that you can be fired for basically breathing. Also learn to work through breaks and lunches and stay hours after you've clocked off to try and catch up so you don't get "coachings" on how bad your numbers are Learn to comfort coworkers as they break down in tears and mental breakdowns hourly.

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.
