Pros

It was usually a fun environment and I made some friends. When we weren't busy we had fun talking among each other. It seemed like they were really trying to make it a special place to work.

Cons

Unfortunately, once they started getting bigger there were definitely growing pains. There was gossip and management got more cut throat. The shifts are super long and you have to be "on" the entire time. You can't slip up on the chats at all. If you do, management will call you out and not in a nice way.

Thank you for the time to leave this review and for your time at ProfessionalChats. This is good feedback and we have actually implemented robust managerial training since your review. There is no doubt that our growth presents many challenges, and we are working diligently to make sure that our employees' lives are continually getting better while our business evolves and changes. We do expect a lot from our team and try to make that clear from the very first interview. We expect people to be "on" while they are at work, but that doesn't mean that we don't also have fun. We have tons of fun! :) I hope that you have found a great opportunity and wish you nothing but success. Thanks, again, for taking the time to give us feedback. Sincerely, Scott Hansen ProfessionalChats CEO

Pros

Good salary and for the most part good atmosphere

Cons

Hours are terrible. 4 12 hour shifts and then q 8 hour as a 'half day.' Cheap and terribly uncomfortable seating for the hours required. Terrible experiences during last two days of training. Seems like their goal is to hire 10+ people just to fire half of the time. Not enough training for the information they expect you to know.

Thank you so much for your frank feedback. I'm very glad to see that you enjoyed the great pay/benefits and the engaging atmosphere. We really do have a great team of people. I'm sorry that you didn't like the hours. Sounds like we need to do a better job of communication before we offer positions to new employees. Many of our team members love the hours because it affords them 3.5 days off every week. But, with better communication ahead of time, we should be able to ensure that it's not a surprise after training. My apology about the lack of communication. Recently, we have been getting significantly better at our new employee retention because we are more selective for our initial offers and are routinely attracting more capable and qualified team members. So, this problem is being solved as I type. I am a firm believer in testing for proficiency, so that's not going to change for now. In fact, the practice test issued at the end of week-one training is the *same test* that is used for the end of week-two training. There are no "gotcha" questions and it is very transparent. The test covers basic grammar, spelling and proofing. In addition, the test covers our company mission, vision, and values. The test material is vital information for any chat specialist who is going to represent our professional clients all across the US. Otherwis, we have bad gramar and it makes all of our cleints look vary unprofesional. In all seriousness, I hope that you found a position that is better suited for your desired hours and wish you nothing but the most success. There is nothing that makes me happier than our team members moving onward and upward. Sincerely, Scott Hansen ProfessionalChats CEO
