I'm currently working on the Esurance side in the Rapid Response department and have a couple concerns/questions about transitioning to Express (assuming this will happen at some point).
My first concern is a suspicion that it's likely that a least some Rapid Response reps (including me) will be laid off at some point as our hourly wage is higher than what I've seen on postings for Express reps. My question here is if the $15/hour or so that I've seen advertised increases once you become licensed/take on more responsibilities or if are there higher level positions in Express that have a higher hourly rate?
I am also concerned about the work environment. I understand that Express is a call center environment (as is Rapid Response) and wanted to get an idea of what metrics are emphasized the most (i.e. quality, AHT, adherence)? I've seen on other postings that the call volume is fairly high as well.
I would appreciate any input that others can provide, and if any one has questions that I might be able to answer I would be happy to do so.
