"Need a list of ratings for Independent Contractor's Experience w customers"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at Arise part-time
Pros
Flexibility is a HUGE plus
Cons
Not necessarily with Arise but with experience dealing w customers
Advice to Management
I'd like to have an idea about what client to pay training for. The client I just started to service is full of horrible customers who belittle, patronize and blame agents for the problems they encounter with the company. Agents work too hard to put up with so many customer nonsense. One thing is to deal with occasional rude customers and another is to be bombarded everyday by customers who are verbally abusive or patronizing towards agents that do their best to help them. That's NOT okay.

Pros
Ability to work from home, PTO, that's about it.
Cons
Used to love working for this company, but this company has gone into the dumps. Everyone talks poorly to each other and they treat you like you are the scum of the earth. I don't know how many calls I have been on and how many emails I have received with such negativity and everyone blaming you for their mistakes. The senior leadership preaches teamwork and how we are all equal, yet they all have such a power trip and talk down to you and use that power to get things from you right away. There are so many little groups within this company, and if you don't suck up to the senior leadership you are pretty much an outcast and will never get promoted or on their bad list. I have even been told to white glove certain employees in the company because of their relationship with the VPs. WHAT???? So I have to treat certain employees better than others because they are within the VPs gang? I'm sorry but I thought we were all a team striving for a common goal. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, and a lot of the employees are being treated poorly with such poor leadership. On top of this they promote such a work life balance, yet you will find yourself working late at nights and every weekend to get you work done because if you don't, the senior leadership will think you are inefficient and not a good worker and will call you really nasty explaining why you need to get your work done, instead of asking do you need help and what can I do to get you some help. They just push more work on you that for one person is impossible to handle. And with that alone, you are already on the Senior leaders bad side, and your chance for promotion or anything positive is now gone. And now we have this color war initiative in the company that separates the entire company into 3 teams to compete throughout the year on different initiatives, seems a bit hypocritical considering that no one knows what team work is.
Advice to Management
You need to take a hard look in the mirror before even trying to fix this mess with the company. Stop with all the fake nonsense with the "we are a team speeches" and all the brainwashing in NEO and the business updates. You are going to lose a lot of employees because of senior leadership. Maybe instead of NEO and the Partnering for Better results training, you should have all the Senior leadership and directors take a mandatory business etiquette course to see how to really treat your team. O wait, but who would teach the course, the same leaders who speak poorly upon their employees? Nevermind, it's time for the investors to take a closer look at the company and not just the dollar signs. And there is no point for me to talk to anyone one in person because I know nothing will get done, so all I am attempting to do is warn current job seekers. It seems like the only solutions for employees unhappy with the company is to just let them sit there unhappy until the leave. Also when good employees leave the company, stop offering them more money to stay to prevent them from leaving, its too late then, promote your good employees before it gets to that point, its common sense which is another thing this company needs to learn.
And now for any non employee reading this, just get ready to read the fake positivity in response to my review from the company.Arise 2018-07-24 12:58 PDT![Arise Logo]()

I have been working at Arise part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Customer Service helping Sears members resolve issues that trouble their appliances. If no resolve, then we dispatch a truck. It feels great helping others.
Cons
Having to sell a quota of home warranties and Home Services.
Advice to Management
I enjoy helping others. I usually put myself in the customer's shoes & then treat them like I would like to be treated. I'm honest, respectable, & responsible, & a hard worker.

You can set your own hours
Cons
You pay for your own training. Training drags on from 3 weeks to 8 weeks. There is so much material and information you learn in training until you get overwhelmed from the overload.
Advice to Management
Learn how to make work simple not complicated.

Pros
Arise gives young professionals the ability to advance by encouraging them to take on new responsibilities and work on multi-faceted projects otherwise reserved for seasoned executives. This allows young professionals to gain diverse career experience.
Work from home perk and PTO is a plus!Cons
Definitely a roll-up-your-sleeves work environment, caused by some functional areas being understaffed or out-of-date systems. It is almost too common to see key individuals working late or operational managers/analysts dual tasked to achieve the task at hand; it is sometimes a cause for undue stress.
Advice to Management
Invest in human capital (people, skills) and investment in new technology to set the company up for success in the future.
