Pros

Easy work, plenty of overtime available if you want it, excellent benefits if you can manage to get and keep them, extremely lenient dress code

Cons

Extremely high turn over rate and with GOOD reason. Accepted a position as captioning assistant. Everything on the surface SOUNDS awesome but BEWARE!! There are so many rules/regulations that are not fully disclosed upon hiring that it'sb really an intricate web effectively designed to prevent you from being able to access these wonderful full time benefits. Warning signs that I initially ignored: continual training classes, sign on bonus, abundant in house "promotions" mentioned repeatedly during orientation, a dress code policy a few sentences long vs an attendance policy that is EIGHT pages long. "Tardy policy " has a magic number that is not disclosed to the employee until they are on the brink of being fired and tardy is ONE SECOND late. All those awesome in house promotions? Why is that?? Why are those upper management positions constantly open? Let me tell you its not from a growth explosion in the company. Why a sign on bonus? Referral bonuses and the like? Because they can't keep employees and management couldn't care less about employees being human beings and all you ever will be is an operator number. Earn those amazing sounding benefits and see how quickly you are targeted for an excuse to lose them. Take a look at the employee board and see how few people there have acquired even one star indicating a full year of employment. I personally self retired from a professional background, have a solid work ethic and was a stellar employee with excellent daily monitor scores as well as monthly speed/accuracy test scores. Didn't matter in the least when they decided to terminate me 20 days after receiving full time benefits and five days before Christmas. Don't be fooled by the great presentation when you apply and don't make the mistake of disregarding all negative reviews as " just another disgruntled ex employee" and lastly don't expect anything but a typical canned response from the corporate office in Nebraska if you attempt to take your concerns past the original call center when you are hired. All of the hype about valuing employee feedback is ONLY hype. I would never recommend working here to anyone I genuinely respected or cared about and am sorry I wasted my time instead of investing it with a company where there might have been a legitimate future.

Pros

Super easy and boring job. They let you make up hours missed under 40 and go home without penalty on slow days if you want to. Weekly attendance bonus and laid back dress code. Free good health benefits, dental and vision cost a little extra but very competitive.

Cons

Training is boring and it is showing how boring the job is. The trainer read off a sheet of paper the whole day.zzzzzzzz. dirty place, very dusty and germy. Management lies for no reason to make the job seem more important/complex than it actually is. And internal promotions are based off how well you stroke the ego of superiors, not how good you are at your job. Favoritism and that dirty dress code allow you to see just how uneducated and underprivileged people are in the building. Who wears pajamas to work? This company allows it on weekends! But above all, sitting in 1 spot talking into a headset with minimum human interaction is like sitting in prison. People quit out of sheer boredom or just stop coming all together so high turn over rate. Most people here brag about getting foodstamp benefits because of low salaries so its that kind of environmental... ratchet.

Horrific joke of a job

Pros

The only pro I can think of is if you can repeat someone you can do this job. This just made me think that I'm sure in the near future this place won't be around. I think all workers will be replaced by the same voice recognition that they use. The workers do not care if they say the words correctly so the client will get the same results that they are getting now. Or the clients will just get tired and move on to competitors. I use the word competitor loosely because there's really no competition.

Cons

Pay is very low ($10.25 hourly in BR, LA). Never anything positive to say. The best you get when you are listened to is "well I can't really think of anything you did wrong". This is the tone for this dreaded place because they know that you are not going to be there long if you are a good worker. At the same time if a good worker makes a mistake they fire them if they do not kiss butt. I stayed 6 months until I landed a much better job. Even though I exceled at this job (not hard to excel in) I never felt like I was with a stable company. I now know that I am with one that I don't have to worry every day that the doors will be locked for good.
