Pros

The company really cares about their employees, especially since the pandemic. I would recommend this company to anyone who is able to handle the stressful work of collections. They offer wonderful benefits and great pay. The only reason I would consider appointment elsewhere is to be open to more opportunities for myself and to find a position that would not be so triggering towards my mental health. *you get to work at home *all equipment is provided to you * work will always reach out and be there to help if you need it. * most customers are calling for help, especially at this time.

Cons

*difficult job if you aren't good with stress * high call volume back to back without breathing room * lots if changes daily that you will get graded on if you mess up. * you get graded on anything and everything. * when people can't pay, you get hit negatively with your numbers.

Pros

Great benefits, fully remote, my fellow employees are great to work with.

Cons

The systems constantly lag and freeze, making an already stressful job even harder. You’re expected to handle the work of multiple roles while meeting unrealistic metrics and learning countless procedures. Calls are often back-to-back, and the two-minute breaks during busy times aren’t enough to recharge. Dealing with verbally abusive customers is common, and you’re required to give multiple warnings before ending a call. While there are opportunities to move into other roles, promotions often feel more dependent on who you know than your actual skills or performance. Overall, it’s a mentally exhausting, high-stress environment.
