Pros

working from home having your own space

Cons

I worked at VRI from May 2023 to August 2024 and found several significant issues worth noting. The lack of a supportive team environment and genuine managerial support made for an isolating experience. Compensation was another major concern; my hourly pay decreased from $17 to $16, and after an annual raise, I only earned $16.31. There are limited growth opportunities, leaving many employees stuck at a salary of $31,000 for years. Management does not engage in call handling but frequently provides suggestions, which often feels disconnected. Weekly meetings intended to motivate often felt overwhelming instead. Additionally, the Life Alert devices provided were frequently used and malfunctioning, leading to frustrated customers and stressful calls for agents. In summary, if you prioritize team cohesion, fair pay, and growth opportunities, I recommend considering other employment options.

Pros

Very laid-back middle management - really great people!! Totally flexible hours, you can email in "sick" pretty much every day without any kind of consequence. Second chance employer.

Cons

It's difficult to make one's "bonus" of $15 per hour; if you don't work ALL hours available you don't you receive only $12 per hour. The company emails you literally the day before, to indicate whether you have a shift the next day; so there is absolutely no predictability as far as schedule is concerned. The work is mindlessly soul deadeningly repetitive! You have to conduct the same political survey over and over again for hours. Canadian based firm, therefore due to the current administration's disrespect for that country, business is tapering off substantially.
