They provide a full-service customer support across phone, chat, and email, including after-hours (6pm-7am) and weekend coverage. Their scope includes handling escalations, declines, and complex customer issues. 
The team scales seasonally and includes QA, training, and management support. They deliver consistent coverage, QA reporting, and built their own training program for onboarding and ongoing agent development.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They have a very high standard for how they treat their agents. The agents are obviously happy and upbeat. I have worked with other outsource partners who experience high turnover, and that is not the experience with ChatPandas.  

Are there any areas for improvement or something ChatPandas could have done differently?

From a management perspective, no feedback is really warranted. They've grown and changed with us over the last 6 years, and have implemented the feedback we've provided over the years. They are incredible partners.
