Pros

Pay, benefits, travel/wellness reimbursement acct, vacation time. morale events,

Cons

Sometimes you feel like the fraudster. Use fake names on the phone when calling possible customers or hotels. Cant outright tell the hotel you suspect this is fraud, supposed to beat around the bush by saying "we're experiencing a credit card processing issue". Awkward conversations when calling potential fraudsters to try and get information from them to determine whether they are authorized cardholders or committing fraud. Metrics can be difficult to meet. Expect 85 a day, but that can be hard when you can't verify anything on the booking. The job isn't about verifying everything, but moreso judging the risk of a transaction, but they expect you to make a decision in roughly 3 minutes and move on. Then there's misfraud, when you let something fraudulent through, and reinstates, when you failed something you thought was fraud, but the customer successfully rebuttals. Both have such incredibly small margins of error, and will count against you even if the customer provided bad info initially. So they expect you to move fast and not make errors when dealing with barely any information on the bookings. Supposedly there's bonuses if you hit your metrics goals, but I never saw any. We kept losing access to fraud detection tools because the company was too cheap to pay for them, so stuff I learned during the training was already obsolete. Additional on-the-job training during Covid-19 was next to worthless. 30 minute to an hour video and a word document, then you're basically on our own.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
