1800Flowers Jobs That are Work from Home – $11 hr

“Helping others order gifts & flowers while getting to work from home for 1800Flowers is win-win!”

Help Customers with their Flower, Food and Gift Orders

Most of the time, for those of us that have had a work at home customer service job or two (or three)… there are good ones and there are bad ones. I guess that's the way it goes with any kind of job really. But when you work at home and there are no co-workers in the same room, it's a bit different. You're really alone. Yes — there are chat rooms and there are supervisors that can be “pinged” — but it's very different than having 6-7 people near you not just for camaraderie, but for help in those moments of “I don't know!!”.

Customer Support Jobs Don't Always Suck

So why do I mention this… Well — like I said, there are good customer support jobs from home and then there are ones that are like… from hell. But let's just talk about the ones that are nice. Helping people with gift and floral orders. Now that sounds nice. Sure… there are going to be those angry customers here and there…. but it's FLOWERS. And candy… stuffed animals, popcorn, fruit and other yummies. That's the kind of customer support you're doing when you work for 1800FLOWERS. And… you can do it from home. (If phones aren't your thing, I have my No Phone Work at Home list and I also have an amazing list of Gig Economy Jobs.

INTERNET
Minimum Internet speeds of 50-100 Mbps. Regardless, your connection must in all cases continuously support outstanding call quality and high-speed interactive response rates while working with client tools. When you connect to the internet, the upload and download speeds you experience will vary based on a variety of factors including the configuration of your computer, the number of concurrent users in your household, the speed of the websites you or others in your household are accessing, network or internet congestion outside of your household, and other factors.

Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of internet service are typically not guaranteed by internet access providers. During peak hours, actual upload and download speeds will likely be lower than speeds promised to you in “as fast as” packages offered to you by your provider. Therefore, Sutherland Global Services cannot predict with certainty that the results from a speed test will, in fact, support the outstanding call quality or interactive speed requirements our Consultants need. Generally speaking, the faster the upload and download speed of your internet connection, the better.

Will I Be Trained?

Yep — you'll be trained. Though to be honest, I've seen some comments here and there on forums and sites stating that the training could be better. Some have even said they felt they were just “thrown into it”. While others seemed perfectly fine with the training they were given. I guess it's going to depend on how comfortable you are with it and how fast you learn.

The job listings I've seen state that training is paid.
