Vantaggi

Starting salaries are current with industry and locale

Svantaggi

Stunted innovation due to legacy technology. Some areas within the business are not as competitive as others but competition does occur depending on the department. Direction from upper management is not always based on knowledge inasmuch as it is more goal oriented and focused on short-range planning. Many very small decisions require the collaboration of several individuals which therefore requires an inordinate amount of meetings and discussions. The company is well known for the practice of hiring over-qualified people for lower-level positions which contributes to a general sense of dissatisfaction within the ranks.

Vantaggi

Remote, work-life balance, easily post shifts and get vto if you want it

Svantaggi

Hours fluctuate way too much, and repetitive, brainless type of calls. You're walked all over, and have to play stupid with customers because of their "assume good intent" policy, but WOW the amount of people who take advantage of this wild. You will see hundreds of dollars refunded on numerous back-to-back orders of the same person claiming they didn't get their package, or coupons and gift cards, nonstop, with customers always complaining. The complaints from customers still in store on their treatment from store managers and supervisors are shocking, I've had calls hearing those workers yellling at customers. The type of work and level of needing to play stupid is just not for me. I also didnt care for never getting a straight answer from managers, trainers, higher-ups. Everything is always beating around the bush. One time hours were cut back a lot, and they blamed the tariffs that the president imposed, which made no sense. Come to find out from a long-term employee that it was just the usual slow time. It's a weird work environment that you just can't take seriously. If you want remote work, take it for the experience on your resume, but move on.
