Pros

- you can work from home

Cons

-middle man providing "tech support" for one the world's largest IT companies. -if you are looking for HelpDesk style work, this is NOT it. -an immense amount to learn and do for $11.50 an hour. -learning consists of an enormous amount of policy and procedure and very little technical troubleshooting -this is much more customer service than technical support. The training consists of how to speak to customers, what tone to use, and how to turn the customers into a promotor of the company's product, with very little IT involved. - customers are generally upset, be prepared to deal with very frustrated people who will get increasingly angrier at you as the calls progress. -the logging system is not user friendly and rather complicated.

Pros

Paid on time, provided equipment, decent benefits from day one, nice co-workers

Cons

Sweatshop mentality of the supervisors, threats of demotion/termination for medical leave, random layoffs when calls didn't justify hours, with those same hours shifted to supervisors to keep them active. Unable to print paystubs, had to request everything through a supervisor, and provide copious amounts of private information to have the request honored. Corrosive environment - I left as soon as I got another offer, gave 24 hours notice (and I've never, ever done that before). Unless you're on the verge of homelessness or starvation, avoid at all costs.
