    I had a customer service remote job. The training was 2wks. Oh boy i was in for a huge surprise. I was hired as a remote customer service rep. But all the training was about billing. They first said that we're going to get paid 17 for being Bilingual. Then it got bumped down to $14 because $17 is only for night workers. I still stayed only because it was remote. Then I find out we get inbound calls that we do not answer ourselves. Meaning we are already on the line when a customer calls. And we'd have to be very close to our computers the whole 8hr shift. Since when a customer calls we have to asap look up their info on the computer. Which left me for no time to make dinner or anything. I worked the 930 to 6pm. Kept getting back to back calls. On top of everything we were supposed to document each call when we're done and had a certain wrap up time to go by. It just felt like being chained to the computer for 8hrs a day. So please beware before taking these remote jobs.

      I’m in a job like that now. I originally applied for another position and was recruited for customer service, and I was advised I would be able to transfer after 6 months to another position. After 1 1/2 years, I expressed interest to my manager in transferring to accounting which is my background, and I was quickly shut down and advised that my job is in customer service, and they would not make it easy for me to transfer! So basically I’m stuck in this position with no chance of ever transferring. I feel so isolated, take call after call, deal with irate customers all day, and all that negative energy is in my home. I definitely am chained to my desk and even have to report bathroom breaks as every minute is accounted for, I’ve never been so micromanaged in my life. I’m sticking it out for a few more months and will be resigning as soon as I’m able to.

    It would be great to hear you talk about what working these jobs is actually like.. What is the interface like when you are working? What are the expectations for how many people you are able to interact with during a given amount of time? Is it stressful? How much oversight is there from supervisors? Are people pretty friendly, or can it be stressful dealing with people, even on live chat? I would love to get a better sense of what the actual experience is like.

    • @AngieNelson
      @AngieNelson  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi, Devin. It can vary a lot, not only from company to company, but also from project to project. And, even, person to person. I, for one, love sales positions - even outbound telemarketing. However, I know many people don't like it at all. Customer service isn't my cup of tea as it usually involves a problem or complaint. But, I know a lot of people love the challenge of solving those problems. Seasonal positions can often be more busy and rushed, but almost every industry experiences some type of seasonal ebb and flow. As you can see, there usually isn't a cut and dry experience. And opinions are just that, opinions. What's stressful to one may not be to another.

    I start my first, in a while anyways, work from home job tomorrow. Customer service 19 hr with benefits and they supply pc etc. I go in tomorrow in person and then it's all from home. I did run my own business from home before and I'm a great salesman.
    My thought about this is: it's a good start for work from home. I can use it on my resume for a better remote job down the road. It's for RBS retail business services ahold delhaize. One issue I've had is a huge background check. I've had to explain some criminal history and they might again use it against me in the future. Most of it is explainable and the worst of it I actually didn't even do, unfortunately I still took a plea... oops. Anyways, wish me luck!

      It depends on the requirements. When I first started working from home, I worked for two companies. Each required a minimum of 15 hours per week. Only one required weekend hours so it was doable.
      You will want to pay close attention to the minimum requirements. Some require you work a minimum number of hours per week. Sometimes those hours have to be worked during certain peak times. Be realistic with your time.
