Pros

It is work from home, and you can go elsewhere in Canada as long as you are up to internet speed standards. People seem pretty chill as well. Everyone I've had an interaction within the company over the phone has been pretty chill and helpful.

Cons

You can't go outside of Canada. They are pretty strict with your online status. Incredibly misguided pedagogy in their training. They think speaking information to your face is training. Minimum wage. The average pay they receive per minute is 1.5-3 dollars USD, which would make the average call 2.25 USD and 3.24 CAD. What we get is 17-18 CAD per hour. Say only 40 minutes of that is on-call and 20 off. That would mean we receive 0.42 CAD per minute on-call. They are leaving me with 12% of the payment for my work.

Pros

Providing communications help for health care, insurance, beginning of life, end of life, counseling, IT. Among the highest minutes in the industry. Great record keeping, and pay is only 7 days after the close of every month. The annual training as well as recertification is paid events. Offers relative independence, after several audits, if you comply with excellence in customer service, you are pretty much on your own.

Cons

The minute rate is among the lower side among language companies. Find that while you can gain lots of successful advice from the company bulletin board, but offering advice is often better to those in authority.

Pros

We are given the tools to do the work and management is good. Very talented, small team of engineers. You are left alone for the most part.

Cons

Some managers are very abrasive and hard to deal with. Pay is dismal (better negotiate a good salary up front) and we haven't had raises in a long time. They don't even keep up with inflation, yet health insurance prices go up yearly. Bonus has no logic to it. It's decided by made up projected numbers that are completely unrealistic some years. There is very little guidance on where we are going except for one meeting a year.
