Flexible part-time remote work but emotionally demanding calls
Pros
For individuals seeking part-time remote employment, the position can provide schedule flexibility and the convenience of working from home. The role also offers experience with a nationally recognized brand and can be a good stepping stone for those looking to build customer service, operations, or call center experience. Employees who enjoy helping customers, solving problems, and working in a fast-paced environment may find the role rewarding. The experience gained can be transferable to future customer support, administrative, operations, and client service positions.
Cons
The role involves a significant amount of customer interaction, including handling escalated situations with frustrated customers. Employees need strong conflict-resolution skills and the ability to remain calm during challenging conversations. In my experience, the volume of emotionally charged customer interactions was higher than expected. Some callers could be verbally aggressive, which made the work environment stressful. The job can be demanding from an emotional standpoint, and success in the role requires a high tolerance for difficult customer situations and frequent phone communication due to movinghelp providers not showing up or canceling services with customers after payment has been excepted. This may cause upset and disgruntled customers calling in heated, and in my experience 70 percent of the calls are upset customers
