Pros

Select your own schedule Work from home Low call volume during off season VTO often during off season Self work scheduling allowed a good work home life balance Frequent reward based incentives to encourage positive work performance

Cons

During prime season part time workers were required to work full time. Shift bids (self scheduling) was based on metrics. High call volume during prime season Managers don’t care Hard to move to a higher level position if you came in as a CSR

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
