Pros

Full-time employment. Met a lot of great people, my coworkers.

Cons

I knew the job would be monotonous, and I was okay with that. However, they are monitoring you with a system no one understands, so it's impossible for you to reach any of the random goals they give you.

People are always trying to find ways to cheat the system after they realize they can't learn it. No one can explain how it works, because it doesn't work.

I saw so many people succumbing to terrible treatment from managers. My entire team was gone in less than a year after we started. This was really a new low!

Advice to Management

Management needs to understand that the workers are people, not children, nor criminals. People really want to do their job well and are denied the opportunity to do so. Management needs to stop using outdated systems that do not work and then pretend to us that they do work. Have a look at attrition numbers; they are really abysmal.
